After the death of my Mother I was really sad. We spoke on the phone everyday, and travel to visit with her as often as I could. When she became ill it was a shock to us, because she was a pretty healthy woman up until her time of illness at 82. The Medicare grief counselors were a great source of providing comfort. They send cards, notes, emails, and some followed up with phone calls. They were members of my church who had experienced the death of their Mothers, so they offered comforting support. My Mother’s death cause our family to draw closer to each other, but through it all, my was the ultimate source of my strength from day to day. I am now in the acceptance stage, but there are days when my sad overwhelms me, but it doesn’t last long. Memories of my Mother sustains as years goes by.

Yes, I was stuck in the stage of depression longer than any of the other stages after a significant loss. What helped me to move past that stage was one, connecting with others who shared in my grief, and two, diving into the Word of God, which I hadn’t done on a consistent basis prior to that loss.

I have been stuck in anger or depression. Finding meaning did help but also it is very important for me to strive to understand Gods plan for me.

I have definitely grieved seasons of life or past relationships. Wrestling with my emotions and the truths of the matter have helped, as well as seeking a lot of counsel from my parents and close friends.
