CHAPTER 1
The overwhelming experience of grief can leave us brokenhearted and alone. Grief guides us toward healing as we learn to live again.
Our heart wanders through the day, seeking our loved one, but finding instead an aching absence.
Memories become sources of pain, reminders of what is missing.
Friends and family try to help. Often, their efforts just don't fit our needs.
Sometimes we get lost in the process of grieving. We lose touch with ourselves as well as our loved one.
This is the time to learn respect for grief and for your grieving heart. This is the time to trust grief's process of healing.
As we struggle with the loneliness and confusion of grief, consider gratitude as a source of healing.
Gratitude teaches our hearts while offering comfort and hope.
