GRIEVING LIFE'S LOSSES: DEVELOPING THE COURAGE TO MOURN (PART 1)

At some point in life, all of us must face a loss. Our mother dies, we get fired from our job or we get a serious illness. Any loss must be grieved, but in our society we strive to keep a stiff upper lip. We deny death. We force ourselves to move on with life. But grief is a part of life and as hard as we try to deny it, there's no escaping it. If we are to truly heal, we must grieve. Only then can we recover from a loss and learn to live with it in a way that frees us to enjoy the rest of our days.
