Hi to all of my OLGS friends. Grief is a long road. I have been doing a lot of reading on how our thoughts trigger brain chemicals which influence our physical feeling and emotional balance. Very amazing stuff. We all grieve differently but we all have the same general bio-processes. Grief is such a threat to our survival. I dont know if we truly recover, or more we learn to incorporate our loss into strength, coping, and remembering with love. I've been told by many people over the years the sting of grief can resurface, although it becomes more manageable. Thinking of you all and wishing comfort! Michael

Thank you Sandy, you're a great friend! I know what you mean, words get kind of silly...Closure sounds like a doorway that needs fixing, and recovery has a post surgery ring to it. In a strange way, grief makes us stronger and wiser, and the suffering part of it is the wound that heals even though it leaves a scar big enough for a bear. I wish wellness and peace in your life.

Hi Michael,

I think we don't "recover", but as you say "we learn to incorporate our loss into strength, coping, and remembering with love."

A friend was talking about closure today (she wants closure from a breakup) and I said that the word has no meaning for me, I don't understand what it is supposed to feel like, but if it meant something to her, that was great.

Sandy

My mom died 4 months ago

My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
