Understanding Grief

This article is very insightful into the steps that we take in grieving. It was written by an adult (a man whose wife died) who shares his personal perception of what he was going through as he coped and moved on. Although some adults don’t seem to understand what kids are going through, this article is easy to relate to as it describes six aspects of grief – including surprise. He mentions that grief is a new experience and we may be feeling something that we would not expect; this was very true for us and maybe you too. He also discusses suffering, support, struggle, survival, and surrender. http://www.atimetogrieve.net/dart_understand.html
