With Those Who Grieve: Twenty Grief Survivors Share Their Stories of Loss, Pain, and Hope
( What it means to be with those who grieve . . . andquo...)
What it means to be with those who grieve . . . andquot;Through their courage, twenty people bravely told me their stories of grief. Sometimes through tears, sometimes stoically, sometimes needing to take a few months' respite between interviews because the pain was too great. But they had stories they were willing to tell. In part to work through some of their own grief process. In part to help those who are grieving. andquot;Despite the loneliness of grief, we have each other. We have our stories. And we must tell them, even if we don't know why. For in the telling and in the listening is the healing.andquot;
