Hi Mary and Colleen, my cousin died recently and I have had some trouble communicating with his wife and children, thanks for this talk, now I have guidelines on what to do. God bless you both!
I never understood what grief was until my partner died, and then I went through it myself. Almost none of my friends understood what I was going through. That was difficult, but when I considered how ignorant I myself had been, I found that I was able to cut them some slack. People who have not gone through the grief of bereavement can be forgiven for having no conception of it. I have not read Panico's book, but it would seem to be a very necessary and welcome contribution. I could relate to a lot of the things she said. Society used to have well established customs surrounding the phenomena of death and grieving, death was more "in your face" than it is now, and there were commonly established and accepted behaviours surrounding it, but that is not the case any more.
Excellent
Thank you so much!
