So insightful . I may not.find the value of life, even if I read pages and pages of texts. Maybe Because of the honesty with which it is written.. but I connected instantly.
Article is so very true with honest expression of thoughts........liked the every word of it.
Spring is sure to follow winter. The season of grief too abides by this law. But for growth to ensue, we must engage anew with life, with ourselves, with our deceased loved one, and with others.”
Finally, as you get ready to reengage with the world, you may feel an invisible wall of awkwardness, anxiety or avoidance between yourself and other people. There would always be some sincere people who might want to engage with you and care for you, but they may be hesitant about connecting the “right way”. Help them help you by letting them know your feelings and changed needs. Let them respond in their own way.
When in grief, invoke the child in you, consciously embody and practice child-like resilience, and adapt to the unfolding loss-altered life.
I appreciate coming to this tender article in the glare of a New Year. The way that you share your own journey is very inspiring. I hear a voice of experience and genuine authority earned. I hear compassion and generosity reaching out to us with a helping hand. Thank you!
Ratul Ji you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Please know I am here to hold space for you - as a ‘Grief & Growth’ specialist , as a bereaved mother myself or just as a sensitive compassionate fellow human.
I am a student in Narrative Therapy and after presentation of your book, Grief, Grace and Growth, my limited approach to grief was exposed. I used to say" It is God's will" or 'Things will get better as time goes on". This was said without understanding grief itself, the emotional burdens of responsibilities over those who grief and the artificial wall between them and those who previously seemed closer to them. I thank you for your presentation and will follow more on your newsletter.
Many thanks David for your kind words. Will look forward to your engagement through comments & discussion. Please do share this with whoever you think will benefit

1. “Cherish the old fallen leaves
2. Treasure them as precious bookmarks
3. in the book of your life-so-far.
4. And choose to turn a new leaf
5. in the book of your life-as-unfolding-anew.”

Very insightful.
It helps live better when those gone have presence in our lives as memories and feelings. We love them.
Many thanks
A new year comes and our journey continues.
