Question of the Day: Day 72
How do you deal with grief?
posted by Michelle at 9:05 AM
We are looking for answers to some hard questions as we dig deep inside and explore our own core values and how that guides not just our own lives but the very world that we live in. These questions will be asked to a group of high school students but we would also like to hear from the world at large. While we hope to keep this forum wide open we do reserve the right to delete responses that we find to be offensive or combative in nature. Thank you for participating with us.

I, too, cry.
It doesn't even have to be my grief. I cry for the grief of others. I think that my empathy gene broke when I gave birth to the twins and ever since then I am emotionally connected to the feelings (good and bad) of others.
Tears are cleansing and offer some release of pent up feelings.
Not well actually...
But I came to realize when my mother died that grief is kinda like giving up something you really like, like cigarettes; at first you miss them ALL the time, and then you will have some periods when you don't think about the person and the pain isn't there. Then you have days when you only think of them once or twice. Then you can go a whole week without missing that person. Then a whole month. But like cigarettes, grief will never totally leave you. You will always want that person back, but soon the pain becomes softer and more bittersweet, you feel the love you have for that person as much as you feel the pain of their being gone. It is a process and it is sometimes hard. But it WILL happen and life will go on as it has for centuries before we were born and centuries after we are gone.
Remember to breathe.
I deal with grief in a way were I am able to look at why it is buging me and most the time I do cry and it dose help me get reed of most of my grief, I also used to talk to people to help me calm done.
