Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 18
Book Description
Losing a loved one is indeed the most tragic event a person can experience in my opinion. If you are reading this book, that means we are united by pain. I want to start off by saying my condolences to you and your family. I’m sure there are a lot of people giving you advice on how you should deal with your grief. The truth is, most of them probably can only imagine what you are going through. They usually mean well, but the fact of the matter is that they can’t identify with the pain and hurt associated with death because they have never really lost a close family member or loved one. To look up and see that person who helped raise you in a coffin is a feeling I know too well. I have lost my mom, dad, grandfather, and two brothers. It has taken me a while to get my mind in a happy place. I would like to share with you some of the things that I do to help me move on while missing my loved ones.
