I am just finishing her book “It’s OK, NOT to be OK”. It has been an amazing new, or maybe old look
at our culture’s inability to deal with grief and loss. I am learning that everything I thought I knew
about grieving and loss was mostly wrong. That means when I thought I was doing
everything right (based on what I thought I knew) I was truly doing everything
wrong. There are no easy answers, there is no right way, there is no time limit,
every loss is different and I am the only one that can figure out what is right
for me. But I will admit right here and
now that it can change from day to day and then there are days that I am just
too exhausted to deal with it. However,
I am learning that some of the things I do and feel that would typically fall
under the heading of weird, macabre, self-centered and a host of other inappropriate
behavior are in fact absolutely normal….we just do not want to talk or hear
about it.
