Over a single weekend, a remarkable series of posts appeared in one of the forums on our online Grief Healing Discussion Groups. Entitled What I’ve Learned, it began when one of our widowed members decided to share what she’s learned from grief—both positive and negative—and she invited others to follow suit.
The result is a remarkable list of helpful tips and insights, all containing the wisdom that only comes from the hard-won, gut-wrenching experience of having lost a loved one. We decided that such wisdom deserves to be shared with others who are grieving. Read on here >>>

Marty,
ReplyDeleteI wish I had've had this list when my first loss happened. It it priceless for grieving people and will help them so much.
Thank you for all your wonderful help towards people who are stuggling with grief.
I think one of the best pointers is to take baby steps, not to look too far ahead as it is so overwhelming. Some days I took minute by minute or hour by hour...I still do this on hard days.
Also, to surround yourself with people who understand and will support you, no matter what.
With love to you,

Great list. Thanks for posting.

ReplyDeleteMarty, thank you for this!
ReplyDeleteReading through this list has been a wonderful help. I find it has little snippets that I can take to heart, and others that remind me of my own times of leaving the dishes for three days, giving in to a day of lassitude, and mostly, it helps to remind me to give myself the compassion and loving care I gave to Doug all those years of his illness and our struggle. And a few things made me smile at the reassurance of the words.
Thank you so very much. feralfae xo
