Acceptance that Grief is a process that each of us goes thru in their own time, in their own way is of primary importance.Knowing the stages of grief is helpful, but the stages aren't like steps that you go up and never backtrack again.The pain decreases with time, but we all have our own timetable.Don't let anyone tell you how you should grieve, or how long.<br />
There are online support groups for dealing with loss of parents, children, spouses that are also helpful.

Check with your closest hospital... When my husband passed away, we enrolled in a children's grief support group through the hospital. They had a wonderful program that offered groups for the kids and the spouses. Once a year they had a wonderful get away weekend for all the families. My kids still talk about what they learned in the program. It really helped to heal each of us seperately and together.<br />
But every resource available paled in the light of my faith in a loving God. Hang on tight,…

When I experienced the lost of my grandmother I found comfort in conversing with my bishop and laying at the alter in my church. Know that sharing your thoughts and feelings is the most healthiest thing that you can do. Remember not to mourn the lost but to celebrate the life and the contributions that your loved one left behind. We serve an awesome God and know that he knows your pain. He's our Father and he loves us. Give it all to him. All worries and concerns. He's a healer. I pray your…

I attended a 6 week Grief Workshop about 3 years ago when my brother died from a work accident. It was put together by a local hospital and featured the work book<br />
<u>The New Day Journal, A journey from grief to healing</u><br />
by Mauryenn O'Brien, ISBN # 0-87946-130-6<br />
This was initially geared towards the loss of a spouse. However our group had every imaginable loss. The 8 of us who attended and shared our stories of our loved ones was the most cathartic experience! I would strongly recommend such…

My church has a grief group and they sent me booklets on what stages and feeling to expect to go through. It was wonderful. I will have to find them and send you a message on what they are and if you can get them. Also, my family and friends were my best place to go because they were going through it with me. Prayer and knowing that my father was rejoicing with the Angels at the Lord Gods feet is also a very comforting thought. God Bless!
