As a group therapist in a hospital, I work with many people who are grieving, sometimes when I’m grieving too.
Yesterday was a day of grieving many tragic losses but also appreciation for blessings, as I hope you can see in these images.

Here’s what I find when I search for “grieving” on YouTube.

Thanks to all who are here for this grieving post, including you.
grieving is an ongoing process, and it ebbs and flows like waves
So true, beth. 💙
Grief is a process. I learned that when my older brother passed. I did not really feel it even when I eulogized him. Nearly a year later, I am speaking with my therapist and out it came. I thought something was wrong with me; Alan told me there wasn’t anything wrong with me. We all grieve differently.

Thanks for sharing and yes, Stan, we all grieve differently. 💙
I was sad when my parents died, both in their 90’s. When a brother died, I was shocked. He died of a fast-moving cancer that took almost everyone unawares. I had good memories of him, even though I lived too far away to see him often. I complained to the family that he had jumped the gun. I’m the oldest. I’m supposed to go first. As least three friends have died of cancer, but with plenty of warning that they were going, I was prepared and somewhat relieved for them. Jerry Garcia, however – as Wavy Gravy put it, when we gathered in Palisades Park to celebrate him, that was some good grief!
Good grieving, my friend. 💙
A long time ago I realized every loss leaves a scar. And scars can still hurt long after they’ve healed, but they don’t hurt all the time.
That healing comment will stay with me for a long time, my friend.
Grief definitely looks different for everyone! No two people will grieve in the same way!
You are so right, Carol Anne. 💙
