The Journey Through Grief, Continued

I found this in the "Journey Through Grief" publication put out by Hospice of North Idaho. Yesterday  I met with a grief counselor at Hospice of North Idaho. This passage was the heart of our discussion. I have the desire to do the suggestions from Ammons, but sometimes it is hard. The last part is the most difficult for me. It is easy to cry and feel empty. I talked to a person today that has also lost a spouse. What he said to me made it clearer. Is that what Everett would want you to do? Cry and feel empty? No,  he wouldn't. He would want me to smile, open my heart, love, and go on. One step at a time.

Each step in the journey of grief can contain wisdom to help me move forward. Today, I will take that.
