Who can you love?

The growth in the readership of this little blog is a testament to how so many of us experience loss. Maybe it’s not a child for you. Maybe it’s a parent, or a sibling or a dear friend. Loss is never the same for two people. The experience is unique. Grief is universal, but we experience it differently.

I do believe that the remedy for the grief experience is universal, however. Push the pain out of your head with a thought of someone that you love and that loves you in return. Focus on that. Every time your mind goes to the one you lost, acknowledge what your brain is doing and then push the thought away, replacing it with a true thought of love.

Works every time.
