After your loved one died, one of the most frustrating aspects of grief may be watching those around you—it could be your spouse, child,...

You reexperience the moment that changed your life forever and the life of your family and everyone who knew this person. Forever.

As I stood there sobbing, I found myself wondering why I was taking this so hard.

Our grief had eased just a bit because Dad had left us with yet another wonderful memory. Thanks, Dad.

I can make you a promise: Even though it doesn’t seem like it now, it will get better.

Of course, focusing exclusively on the past and ignoring the present is not healthy. . . memories are all you have. Why not use them?

When someone dies, do we really ever say “goodbye?”

This man wasn’t crying, no tremors in his voice, no hesitancy in saying “died” or “passed on.”

But your sad heart knows the truth as it says, “Yes, come in. I know why you’re here”

Yes, my promise to you is: As terrible as you feel now, you will not feel this way forever.

So, the next time you hear someone talk about “grief,” you might want to remind them that. . . some reactions last a lifetime.

Therefore, while the pain lessens, coping with the many aspects of grief is a lifelong process.

My loved one has died and for that I will always carry him or her in my heart. . . despite my pain, someday I will find happiness again.
