Bereavement is a powerful, life-changing experience that most people find overwhelming. Although grief is a natural process of human life, most of us are not able to manage it alone. Each response is different according to the relationship. May it be losing mother, father, siblings, spouse, and grandmother. A loss is still a LOSS. Regardless of the relationship.
During the first year the bereaved will experience one of everything for the first time alone: anniversaries, birthdays, occasions, etc. The cliché, "the healing hands of time," does not go far enough to explain what must take place.
At times, the bereaved may embrace the pain of grief believing it is all they have left. The lingering close bond to the deceased is sometimes thought to maintain the memories while, in fact, just the opposite is true. In learning to let go and live a new and changed life memories tend to come back more clearly. Growth and healing comes in learning to enjoy memories.
I hope this explains why i do what i do.
