Grieving is a healing and a very natural process. In life we have
loved the person now deceased and our grieving at their passing
is a continuation of our expression of that love in a very deep,
meaningful way, calling our deepest emotions into play. It is a
natural process and it is important that we allow ourselves to experience
it fully.
Children too should be allowed to grieve. If children are old
enough, they should be made aware of approaching death and when
it occurs, they need to express their love through grieving.
Grieving is a healing process and our natural journey through
its various emotions will in time help us to a gradual return to
our normal life and work, and while our sense of loss will never
entirely disappear, it will diminish. Family, friends and the local
community will understand our time of grieving. Their understanding
and their care for us can be extremely comforting. They should be
allowed to comfort us for they too are grieving for someone they
too loved in life and they are grieving for our sense of loss.
