"Everyone has different reactions to loss, what is good for one person may not work for another. If you have suffered painful losses before, you know that no two are alike and losing loved ones does not get 'easier.' Remember, you will recover from your loss. But in any case grief does not magically disappear, there is no potion to drink or phrase to say that will take away the pain. Dealing with your loss and the gradual passage of time are the two best healers." |
