Is it possible to heal together?

Does sharing the grief help or does it make things worse?
It's hard handling this on my own
It's like a heavy weight tied to my back

The only way I was able to get through my grief was to share it with people who had been through the same thing, like close friends and in online and offline groups, like GriefShare.

@Justmeraeagain I hope you’ll look into it Rae. Offline I did a GriefShare group and a group at a local hospital. Online I found a Facebook group for widows and widowers. The grief was still excruciating for quite some time but having that support gave me just enough relief to make it through. Trying to do it alone was virtually impossible for me. I had to be around others who knew exactly what I was going through, to walk the painful path with me. And you might also want to look into grief counseling, one on one with a counselor who specializes in that area could be helpful.

You’re in my thoughts and prayers always. 🫂
