We have to experience grief's pain in order to manage it.
It Helps to Let People In
We need our friends support us. Make them feel comfortable in doing it.
Fight or Flight
When trauma strikes, our brains tell us to fight or run. But in grief there's only 1 choice.
Not time, But DOING Heals all Wounds
In grief, time is on your side. But it depends on what you do with it.
Empowered by Your Progress
When you do the work of grief, you're able to refocus on things that bring you joy.
Telling Your Story
The ability to describe your grief is critically important in moving forward.
The desperation to gain control
When all efforts to manage one's life have failed, suicide may be the only form of control remaining.
