Lessons in Grief

"""I'm not crazy - I'm just bereaved."" That's what I had to keep reminding myself in the wake of a recent family tragedy. Grief can be an all-consuming and completely overwhelming experience. Regardless who, when, why, and how, the death of a loved one will easily send even the strongest of us into a tail-spin of despair. And when the worst of the tragedy is over, we are often left feeling empty and shattered, struggling with more questions than answers: was there anything I could have done? Why did this have to happen? How is any of this fair? Many of these questions cannot be answered (at least not satisfactorily) but that doesn't mean that healing from grief is impossible. It is a process. It does take time. And it certainly isn't pleasant. But the healing can start with just one step: by just telling the truth of what's in your heart. All of the good, all of the bad, and especially all of the crazy."
