“I’m just so angry all the time, and I don’t like it. I hate how angry I am.”
I looked into her eyes and replied, “I’m not sure you’re angry. Have you ever considered that you might be grieving, that you may be in mourning right now?”
“Wow,” she said. “I never thought about it that way. That’s exactly what it feels like.”
Almost immediately she could name everything she was lamenting the loss of.
Grief looks a lot like anger on the outside.
You have come to the right place, and we are glad you are here. This is a safe place to share stories of love and loss, devastating grief, exhausting care-giving, memorials, advanced directives, mourning, hope, and despair. We want to hear about about what you wish you had known or done differently, what you wish those around you had known or done differently, and what went right. We will never tell you to move on or find closure. "What cannot be said will be wept." Sappho
