There is no moving on, but there can be moving forward. Grief isn’t a straight, or even a curved, path. It goes up and down, inside and out. It doubles back on itself. It feels like time has stopped. It feels like time has sped up.

The most basic truth about grief is that it is different for each person. It’s also true that everyone feels the same things, just in a different way.

I have been a professional grief mentor for almost forty years. I have identified at least 20 common falsehoods/fallacies/flat out lies about grief and grieving widely taught and widely believed in our death-denying, pain avoidant culture. I am in the process of completing a manuscript tentatively titled, “The Hopeful Helpful Truth About Grief.” In this book I am addressing these common misunderstandings and offer clarification and gentle guidance.

Again, thank you for your updated, enlightened information. We all have to work together to upgrade our community’s understanding of this universal human experience.
