When families lose loved ones there is bound to be grief.  Hundreds of books have been written on the subject of grief.  In my opinion all of them are right and all of them are wrong.  Grief is not a mechanical function that we can diagram and predict the outcome.  We are all individuals, unique, different, there for it stands to reason the way we deal with grief will vary.  The important thing is that we acknowledge it and deal with it.  

 

It is not required to to memorize the steps of grief, nor is it required to make sure that we move through the steps in sequential order.  Knowledge and information are the most beneficial tools in dealing with grief.  

  • Why am I getting upset all the time?

  • Why can't I sleep?

  • Why have I lost my appetite?

  • Why am I going through mood swings?

  • Why have I not grieved like others in my family?
