The Family
Since I am taking a class on families and relationships, and have studied about how interwoven every one in the family is, I want to spend some time this Summer reading a book I purchased many years ago that was used as a class book. The book is Grief as a Family Process. I want to read this book with fresh eyes now that I have additional information regarding families.
Your family may be grieving about a loved one. If so, keep in mind that within that loss are many different relationships and many different ways of expressing that grief. Your relationship won't be exactly like anyone elses.
Allow yourself to view your loved one through other people's eyes. Their view or experience may be different, but different doesn't indicate wrong or bad. Just different.
My prayer is that through your grief you will come to know how precious and fragile life is. This knowledge will be just one more gift from your loved one.
