Omg, such a touching piece of writing. The language of grief is so important - I realise it now after reading this article. This is a new concept to me.

I still mourn the death of my father I lost 16 years ago, and it feels as if it was only yesterday. I haven’t been able to find words to talk about how much I miss him ever since, but it has surely eaten into me over the years.

Thanks for writing this article. Such a beautiful piece…

I recently found myself comforting a person who lost a partner of over 60 years. I found it difficult to construct the opening words as I was also affected. But after sharing how we remember the deceased,

I found myslef concluding that "Love and Rleationships never fade away and the deceased shall always remain Significant in our lives." At times swing like a pendulum when it is difficult, we remember her interventions and giving hope but when in happiness also remember her on how she would laugh, share happiness with all of us. At times as a motivator, that " I am doing this for her". I really need to develop ice-breaking or opening words when talking about Grief. Any suggestions?
