This post is about a resource I have found thanks to grief coach Maureen Hunter, who has prepared a free e-book with strategies to help through the early days of grief. (Four years later, it’s maybe not so early any more for me, but I still found a great deal of support in this resource.)
“Opening the Door to Hope – Helping you Step through Grief”
I hope it may be as helpful to you as it has been to me.
For me it has been 4 yrs also since I lost my son. You know no matter what happens to us, we always carry the hurt inside us and we all grieve in different ways and with no set timeframe. Those days of the year that hurt the most, birthdays, anniversary dates and celebrations – I call them part of an elite group called Grief Monkeys. I also know that by ‘sharing the glue’ around, ie reaching out to each other we add a little bit of bonding to our broken hearts. If my experience can in any way help another, then thats what matters most to me.
