Tips for Grieving describe symptoms of grief one may experience following the death of a child or other losses. My 17 year old daughter, Tammy, was killed by a drunk driver. I quickly became a bereaved mother, a bereaved parent, a grieving mother feeling numb, sad, anger, and filled with grief. Knowing my daughter was one of God’s angels in heaven didn’t bring me peace. To help deal with the grief I attended The Compassionate Friends support group, started Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in my community. Anger, hatred, rage, and dealing with the Criminal Justice System only complicated my grief. Working as a grief therapist helped me understand myself and others grief. Tips for Grieving is what I learned about grief and mourning. This booklet will help you understand grief and bring you some peace and comfort. Tips for Grieving is information that I learned about grief after the loss of a child through my personal experience and from what I learned from others facilitating grief groups. Hoping these Tips for Grieving help you to learn about yourself and brings you comfort in knowing grief is unique and different for everyone.
