"The only cure for grief is to grieve"
-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.
