Grief never ends but it does change.
It’s a passage, not a place to stay.
Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith.
Grief is the price we pay for love.
Brent has experienced grief at the coal face personally, in addition to having assisted overwhelmed families navigate the funeral arrangement options at a poignant time of loss.
Grief is not linear. Full Stop.
There are no rules. It’s not a test, a race, or competition. There’s no ‘one size fits all’, everyone grieves differently. We don’t move passed from grief – we move through it. Nor is there any secret method that will make your grief disappear.
However, it is worth having some aspect of hope that grief, can slowly get easier to live with.
