No one can deny that grief is a painful experience, but it's important to believe that the pain will subside.
Sadness is the key stage of the grief process that precedes acceptance.
The grief process involves many states, emotional and physical. Grieving is not hanging on to loss but the process of connecting to the new. All of life involves change and all change involves loss. We grieve the losses in an ongoing process of emotional sharing and physical sensitivity growing toward deeper connection. Grieving fuels the forward movement of our lives.
