My grandfather had a scholarship to go to college and his father talked him into staying home and working on the farm. When I was little my grandfather took me to see him and I could tell there was friction between them. My mother told me about this years later and it all made sense....

You’ll go through stages. Maybe 5 but some only go through 4
Starts with Denial and ends with acceptance.
Ie-
Denial
Bargaining

[quote] It gave me a new perspective on death/grief and made me feel a little dumb for how I handled deaths in the past.
I never used to know what to say or how to react when family or friends experienced loss and used to think why would anyone want to hear from me in their time of loss. Afte...

My BIL was a contractor in what was apparently the only peaceful area of Afghanistan. You'd see all these news stories about mayhem and he never heard a shot fired in anger. He operated surveillance equipment on the border between AFG and one of the Stans. They caught a lot of smugglers but the T...

Lost my mother nearly three months ago to Alzheimers. I'm mostly still numb. We were very close and I think about her a lot but it's without any strong feelings of grief, which surprised me.
