Time waves through grief

"Some people write about grief happening in stages, but usually it feels more like "waves" or cycles of grief that come and go..." --http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/emotions/someone_died.html "The point here, though, is that time does NOT heal all wounds. A more apt saying is “It's what you DO with the time that heals.” Like any other aspect of life, mourning is an active, working process, not a passive one." --http://blogs.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-journey-ahead/200804/time-heals-all-wounds-or-does-it "Mourning is a highly individualistic process based on many factors in the bereaved person’s life. It is a process for finding meaning in a distressing time of loss, creating a new relationship with the deceased, reintegrating the deceased into the bereaved person’s being, and learning how to live in the world under a new set of conditions and assumptions." (emphasis added. really interesting and resonant way of thinking about it for me...) --http://blogs.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-journey-ahead/200804/stages-grief-time-for-a-new-model
