"The only cure for grief is to grieve"
-Earl Grollman
-Earl Grollman
The above quote may seem obvious, but it is unbelievably difficult to do...
- We move away from feelings that are painful
- We feel stuck in our grief, stuck in the past
- We find very quickly that others seem uncomfortable with our grief
- Life has had the audacity to go on and expect that we will be able to do the same...
Grief and loss don't just apply to the death of a loved one. We go through a similar process when we lose anything important- a relationship, a job, a concept of ourselves.
You may be doing a great job working through your grief, or you may feel like you are totally stuck and unable to move forward. Either way, having a partner through the very lonely and isolating process of grieving can make all the difference.
