  1. Sharla- I totally agree. There's no "one right way" to grieve. No one can decide for us, and sometimes it changes as it goes. Thank you. Your comments are a helpful reminder that grief is intensely personal. We need to respect that. -Alicia P.S. I didn't enjoy the "He's in a better place" cliche either! I appreciate the intent, but......
  2. Kath- Oh my goodness, thank you! I can see coming here was a good idea. My first chapter is called, "Listen. Then Listen Some More". From the trenches comes wisdom. I'm so sorry for what you've had to go through (are going through), but how wonderful to have a guide like you have found. As for your first "alone cold", that's just beautiful. Those firsts can be brutal. How loving of her to help you prepare for that. Thank you so much. This is EXACTLY what I am looking for. Who's next?
  3. HI- I'm new to this forum, but am impressed by the support you all give. Well done! My mom died at 48, still not sure how. My dad died in his sleep 10 years later. Both times I noticed the same thing. Most of those around me wanted to help, but didn't really know what to do. I am writing a book about this. My publisher needs the final copy in 8 weeks! I was hoping some of you would share what helped and what didn't. Most of the book describes ways to help the grieving, but I'm also including a list of things you should never say. I mean, really. If one more person told me they knew exactly how I felt, I might have hurt them:) Thanks so much. -Alicia King "The Grief Lady" http://dosanddontsofgrief.blogspot.com http://twitter.com/thegrieflady
