Grief itself is not a problem, and as such, cannot be fixed.

Your life, and your grief, are a work in progress.

Address your fears in concrete ways, but don’t let your fears keep you captive.

It’s true on so many levels: losing someone changes you.

Kindness won’t change anything, but it will make things easier on your mind and your heart.

Grief is as individual as love: every life, every path, is unique.
