The International Grief Survivors Foundation chose the bear as its logo to remind us of the spirit of the bear. There are times when people in grief need to escape, go in their cave so to speak. There are times when they need nurturing, like the mother bear who nurtures her bear cubs for as long as two or three years. The bear can be aggressive when necessary for self-reliance.
