In Times of Grief...Spouses, families, and othersoulmates - those of youare usually the people, in times of loss, who experience grief withmore intensity, more passion, more feelings, more emotions.You go through moments(sometimes days) of shock, moments of anger and depression, moments when you doubtand ask, "Why, why, why?"Finally, you will arrive atsome level of acceptance.It often takes three monthsto three years or longer, but you will come to gripswith the loss in your own way, on your own time, through your own understanding.Time of feelings and insightswill hit you when you least expect it -like seeing a dandelion or a seashell, walking on the beach, sitting by a campfire, riding a bicycle, eating a piece of fudge, watching a movie, holding a child, dancing and singing in the kitchenwhile stirring macaroni and cheese.Something - some event, some word, some sound, some food, some clothing, some place, some picture - will trigger a memory, andyou will feel the intense sadness, separation and loss.You will also feel the warmthof a moment at that timewhen the loved one is revisiting you.Time will stand still, andyou will know that person is present.Savor and embrace those moments dearly.They are precious and so meaningful.They are the life of the onewho has departed.*****
