This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 19, 2008:
Like everyone else I have had to work through the various stages of grief / loss, and learn acceptance, from disbelief, numbness, anger why them not me? The hardest death to accept was my grandson dying at only 18, also my daughter in law only in her 40's, a three year old in my care while nursing, not the natural order of things, it should have been me before them.
Two things helped me, one was a near death experience when I was a child, it took away my fear of death it was such a beautiful experience, enveloping me in love light peace and I feel that would be their experience too. The love and happy memories of our time together also helped, we none of us know what tomorrow may bring it is so important to make the most of now, if we want each others happiness then misery is not an option our loved ones would not want us to grieve forever, just to hold on to the happy memories.
In my experience as a nurse, grief is often more difficult to deal with when there has been disharmonY., people sometimes get stuck and need help.

you inspire me, thank you!
Just digging deep from my experience, thank you Shirley,
I'm moved to offer you my condolances, Gael.
I agree that we get stuck in the unfinished business…..grief is a barometer attesting to the pressure of repressing the unresolved……
Thanx for sharing.
Love, Jon x
Jon, thank you, grief as a barometer, an interesting concept, where do we draw the line though - if we have loved some grief is natural.
many bows ms. Z…to the wisdom within your awareness…always, star…
