Grief is a strange emotion, and as time goes by I realise how hard it is…
G = Grief is something that needs work, we need to understand that although time helps…it is only when we use that time to cope with our feelings that we start to come through it.
R = Remember death happens to us all during our life. We are not unique, we are normal.
I = I now realise that the way through grief is not by looking back but by looking forward. You
will never lose the memories but remember the future has new ones that can be as special.
E = Every person is different and each person copes in a different way. It is about finding the way that works for you. If that is going out, great! If that is becoming a little insular, great! The key is then working through and returning to your normal self over time.
F= Feelings are natural. Feelings are what makes us human. Do not fear feelings as they are special. Learn to cope with feelings rather than suppress them.
