]]> Coping with loss is difficult and we all struggle at times, that is why I would love more people to become involved with our monthly online meeting. To come out of the grief tunnel we need to learn how to live by ourselves, how to cope with the loneliness, how to find happiness again. So how do we learn? Well I believe there are two ways

  1. Reading and sharing with others. If you like, learning the theory of grief and how to cope with bereavement.
  2. The ‘doing‘. We need to join life again, we need to break out of our grieving shells and start to put the theory into practice.

For me as long as you are doing one of these then you are progressing and you are on the way. The second part – the joining life again – is tough for me. I am becoming more and more of a loner and find it harder to got out…but we must. It is through friendship and love.…that we will heal our hearts.
