]]> Oh it has been cold these last few weeks, really cold with severe frosts. I look at the lawn and see it covered in white, and it made me think of our grief. Grief bites, bereavement leaves you feeling cold to the world, to the warmth of others around you.

F=Frost covers the beauty of the lawn…however, the lawn remains just hidden from view.

R= Realise that our grief is like that frost, it feels cold, it feels harsh but underneath we are still as beautiful.

O= Once the air warms the frost disappears….we have to find that warmth again by opening our heart to others.woodiinwinter.jpg

S= Size of the crystals vary…just like the way our reaction varies from individual to individual. There is no right size crystal, there is no right size grief.

T=Translucent. The crystals allow the light through….I think this is so important in our grief. There is nothing wrong in letting people see the emotion, see the pain inside and allowing them help you cope through the bereavement.
