Since June 1, 2011, the day my grief journey started, I am incredibly interested in how people get through their loss. This was an incredibly moving read.
marleed Oh, I‘m sorry. I also read a pile of books on grief but for reasons a bit easier to come to terms with than yours. 11mo
Rissa1 @marleed I am learning that grief, for whatever reason, is still a terribly hard thing to deal with. 11mo
Rissa1 I feel like I should clarify. Why? Who knows, but I do. I held a baby for 1 hour and 19 minutes when he passed. Someone will say, " How can you grieve so long for someone who was here so little?" Someone else will say," I don't know how you go on." A mother said to me while she was grieving her miscarriage, " I am sorry it is nothing like what you went through." It is we both lost. I cannot understand every aspect of someones journey, but it is. 11mo

Rissa1 We both lost. I know the feeling of loss. I cannot understand what it was like to miscarry. I cannot understand what it is like to lose your dream job, or a million other scenarios. But I know the feeling of loss. Now I am curious of how so many others got through. 11mo
TheBookHippie I‘ve been here, where you are. Grief is a journey. You are forever changed. It‘s like the waves of an ocean, sometimes you‘re okay, sometimes you ride the wave, sometimes the wave pummels you onto shore and throws you hard. Those times lessen as time goes. But it never leaves. Sending light. Tangible things help. Some ppl get little statues, some tattoo, some free journal. It‘s one moment at a time . ♥️ 10mo
