Grief Help...


A lot of people ask me questions about grief and what they can do for friends who have lost loved ones and I give suggestions, but ironically I don't always feel like I'm an authority on the subject. I just finished reading, "The Grief Recovery Handbook". It was recommended to me and the first book I've ever read about grief. I felt like this book was quite educational and helped explain what grief is and how we aren't raised to be equipped with "loss". I don't recommend buying it unless you have lost a loved one, but I recommend anyone to read the first chapters because it just helped explain what people who have lost loved ones are going through and I think even I will be better equipped to help, "mourn with those that mourn." This book also validated most of the feelings I've felt in the last two years and makes me realize how normal my feelings have been!!
