Grief is such a difficult thing to deal with. It is amazing what grief and death can do to people and family functioning. As a nurse, I have seen the affects and as a person I have experienced it with the loss of my mother and brother. They were both very young, my mom 43 and my brother 22, and passed within two years of each other. Its difficult for individuals and families to cope with.

My youngest son passed away two years ago unexpectedly, and I learned first hand how deep the pain can cut. With faith and prayer, the daily throbbing pain stopped. With time to reflect, I have learned that grief - no matter the source - has some common ground. The intensity may differ and the time to heal may differ. In looking back, I realize that the steps and process of grief and healing I faced with my son's death are very similar to the emotions associated with two previous downsizings, the death of a pet, divorce, betrayal by a family member, and loss of self-esteem as the victim of domestic abuse. I just started a web site (my first attempt) focusing on loss with the current primary focus on job loss. I would love to have you visit http://www/recoverfromloss.com Keep up the good work you are doing. Mel Your tips on coping with grief are great!

It took me 2 years just to write down and committing to doing at least one activity on a consistent basis. And if you knew before then you would not think that level of alteration was possible. Heck, if you had said to me that level of grief was possible I wouldn't have believed it to be so. But after experiencing multiple simultaneous deaths in the prime of my loved ones lives, I know see how it can happen to anyone. I must say, I'm truly glad you're here, giving encouragement, support and guidance in a very loving and gentle way to readers and visitors alike. How I wish I had had this list after 9/11.
