Grieving in Silence: The Power of Self-Compassion During Tough Times

In the midst of grief, how often do we find ourselves overwhelmed by the relentless stream of well-intentioned, but ultimately draining, comments? The cliches - "give it time," "stay strong," "eat something and you'll feel better," and the ubiquitous "I'm sorry" - may begin to feel like a broken record, leaving us feeling increasingly isolated and misunderstood.

Today I stumbled across this post of Grieving In Silence and want to express that it (silence) is how much of my grieving has been done - it works for me. I also need to say that the Grief Recovery program I attended and especially the help of Kim Wolfe provided very strong assistance. Today is almost 4 years after the loss of the "Love of My Life" and I have attained a level of reality with my current life that I did not expect and a lot of that if due the help and guidance of Kim (Thank you my friend).

Grief is truly a personal journey for each of us. I am no longer a member of The Grief Recovery Method as an Instructor. I guess I violated their guidelines as I was instructed not to pray, or talk about God. That did not set well with me, so I left their program. The Good News is, I have begun a new journey of my own, and with God's guidance, help, and timing, I am coming back to my calling. I deeply appreciate your kind words, and your dedication to learn, grow and heal from such a devastating loss in life. More than you mentioned, but you and I know as we shared our losses, and you helped…
