>6. RECOVERING FROM GRIEF >by Rabbi Dr. Earl A. Grollman > >Someone you love very much has died. Part of you has >been buried with your beloved. Pain and fear wash over >you in waves. You may hurt so much that you may want >to die, too. You wonder if you will ever survive. > >Accept your grief: Expect the physical and emotional >consequences of the death of your loved one. Grief is >the price you pay for love. >Be patient with yourself: Your mind and body and soul >need time and energy to mend. Grief is like weeding a >flower bed in the summer. You may have to do it over >and over again until the seasons change. > >Join a group of others who are grieving: Learning >about the experiences of others can offer invaluable >insight into your own feelings with support, >encouragement, and friendship. >Confront your own mortality: Now that you have >encountered death, you will see life differently. >Knowing how brief life can be, might encourage you to >make life more meaningful for yourself and others. > >Determine to live again: Grief is a process. Recovery >is your choice. You have endured the worst kind of >experience. You will survive. Life is for the living.
