A Time to Grieve

Time to Grieve: Meditations for Healing After the Death of a Loved One | Carol Staudacher

Hell yeah it does!

My brother has been gone nearly a year and I am just now getting back to my previous self! It‘s been like carrying around this weighted blanket that drains me completely of energy and focus.

I don‘t remember this with my dad - but I had two young kids when I lost him and being a mom was exhausting. So I probably didn‘t realize. My kids were five years older when I lost my brother so that may be the difference.

Laura317 It sometimes takes a long time to get to the other side of grief. We lost my brother-in-law and mother-in-law 9 months apart 1 year ago. Sometimes the sadness hits me out of nowhere. It does get better, but there is always that small seed of sadness left. Hugs to you. 💕💕 7y

Grief denial ... I go thru this - I have moments where I can‘t let it soak in that my brother is gone. It‘s just a feeling I can‘t tolerate for that moment. Some days I can. But not many.

Suet624 I‘m so sorry. 7y

MelAnn @Suet624 thanks - it will be a year in April and it really doesn‘t get easier - just different. I hate Easter. My dad died five years earlier the night following Easter and my brother died coming home last year to spend Easter with us. So, this month seeing all social media stuff and store displays regarding Easter - gonna be a long month. 7y

Suet624 Oh gosh. That‘s so hard. 💕💕 7y

Lreads I'm so sorry. I don't have any cheerful words but I can sympathize. I feel like I'm stuck in a void with my denial and sadness while everyone else goes about their business. I'm here if you ever want to talk. 7y

Tamra Grief is weird like that. Waves that crash & recede. 7y

Dulcinella 😕 Must be a hard time. Sending hugs x 7y

Laura317 It‘s hard. So hard. I think Tamra nails it with her “waves that crash and recede”. Praying that you feel some peace. Hugs to you. 7y

A Time to Grieve: Meditations for Healing After the Death of a Loved One | Carol Staudacher

Friend of mine gave me this book when my brother died last year. It is one of my top books on griefs - it‘s a book of meditations for healing after the death of a loved one. It has brought me more comfort with the simple, short readings than most other books on grief. If you don‘t know what to do for someone who loses someone, get them this book.

MelissaS My friend”s daughter has terminal brain cancer and I will pick this up for her. Thank you for mentioning it! I want her to have some relief. 7y

AmyG @MelissaS How horrible. 😪 7y

MelissaS @AmyG it‘s heartbreaking 7y

CaitlinR Books can bring such comfort. I‘m sorry for your troubles. 7y
