Cutting Loss Down to Size: Interviews

I've included this section because I think that interviews are an interesting way to convey information. When done well, they cover all the cogent points quickly and colorfully.

Learn why you should shed those tears as often as it takes.

Welcome To My Blog

If you’ve found your way here it might be because you searched online topics such as grief, loss, life changes, coping, living well, or other possibilities. This blog will explore all of those topics and more, as it evolves to reflect my journey and possibly yours.

We all know that life brings changes. Some of them are difficult to accept but we are told by friends and family that we must “move on”. I never really thought about exactly how that “moving on” is supposed to happen until the changes in my life became unbearably large and devastating.

When I noticed that I was waking up each morning thinking “oh, no…another day!”, I realized I needed to do something. I tried participating in individual and group therapy. I read books about grief. I tried to find activities to fill the empty spaces as I wondered when things would get better. Sometimes I still wonder!

Do I think I have all the answers? Of course not. That’s where all of you come in. Collectively, we are smarter, stronger, and more creative than we are in isolation. I believe that, within a community, we become more resilient as we learn from each other. Welcome to our community.
