You have lost someone dear to you and there is an emptiness in your heart and soul. Although many try to console by saying, “I understand how you feel,” no one can possibly understand or identify with your painful emotions. Family and friends have moved on with their daily lives, and it seems no one even mentions your loved one’s name … afraid they might upset you.Death is inevitable and will visit every household at some point; yet, this visit is usually unexpected and a shock, leaving you in a dark and lonely place. It shatters your hopes, dreams, and expectations and robs you of the future that you had imagined. How do you cope with the days, weeks, months, and even years following the death of your loved one? Because we live in a grief-avoidance society, this subject matter is the elephant in the room and we shy away from discussing circumstances surrounding it. We aren’t taught what to say, what not to say, or how to support one who is coping with loss. The ABC’s of Grief: From Grief to Gratitude offers hope, encouragement, and support to help you navigate the wilderness of grief. It is the desire that the information will help you move from pain to peace, heartbreak to happiness, and grief to gratitude in the shortest time possible.Dora Carpenter has worked in the death care industry for over 18 years.
