New Page: The Grieving Journey: How to Survive the Loss of a Loved One

After losing Teresa, I have seen so many friends and family struggling with their Grief Journeys.  I thought about writing a book about how we managed to get through ours, but writing a book takes an interminable amount of time, and our friends and family need the help now.

Therefore, I am starting by using my blog and adding a separate page to it to start my amateur grief counseling now.  With that in mind, I'd like to introduce my new Blogger page : 

The Grieving Journey: How to Survive the Loss of a Loved One As of now, I only have the introduction written, but hope to be adding several posts a week. Please be patient with me as I am still going through the grief stages myself intermittently.  Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed and have to back away from it for a day or two.  But I plan to write in here regularly and truly want to help others find their way back to a new normal and eventually some form of happiness once more. God bless all of you who are struggling.  Don't feel alone.  Never feel that it is your fault, even though others may blame you.   If you have faith, lean on that, talk to your pastor. When those who offer to help, take them up on it. Don't feel guilty about doing so. Keep your mind open to new ideas.  Some of my ideas may seem a little outrageous at times.  Keep in mind, that coping mechanisms do work. Keep on keeping on.
