GRIEF & LOSS
Healing After Loss: Daily Mediations for Working Through Grief, Martha Whitmore Hickman
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross has done important research exploring the stages of grief. She notes that we go through denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. This is not a smooth and flowing path. It webs and flows and moves without one, two, three. It takes time and it is different for all. Do it in your own time and your own way.
