CHAPTER 1

1.

UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GRIEF AND MOURNING.


• Grief is the constellation of internal thoughts and feelings we have when someone loved dies.

• Mourning is the outward expression of grief.

• Everyone who has the capacity to give and receive love grieves when someone loved dies, but if we are to heal, we must also mourn.

• Many of the ideas in this book are intended to help you mourn this death, to express your grief outside of yourself. Over time and with the support of others, to mourn is to heal.

CARPE DIEM:

Ask yourself this: Have I been mourning this death or have I restricted myself to grieving?


2.

BE COMPASSIONATE WITH YOURSELF.


• The journey through grief is a long and difficult one. It is also a journey for which there is no preparation.

• Be compassionate with yourself as you encounter painful thoughts and feelings of loss and grief.

• Don't judge yourself or try to set a particular course for healing.

• Let your journey be what it is. And let yourself — your new, grieving self — be who you are.

CARPE DIEM:

Look at yourself in the mirror and say, "I am in mourning. I will be compassionate with myself as I mourn this death in my own unique way and in my own time."


3.

UNDERSTAND THE SIX NEEDS OF MOURNING


Need #1: Acknowledge the reality of the death.

• You must gently confront the difficult reality that someone you loved is dead and will never physically be present to you again.

• Whether the death was sudden or anticipated, acknowledging the full reality of the loss may occur over weeks and months.

• You will first acknowledge the reality of the loss with your head. Only over time will you come to acknowledge it with your heart.

• At times you may push away the reality of the death. This is normal. You will come to integrate the reality in doses as you are ready.

CARPE DIEM:

Tell someone about the death today. Talking about it will help you work on this important need.


4.

UNDERSTAND THE SIX NEEDS OF MOURNING


Need #2: Embrace the pain of the loss.

• This need requires that we embrace the pain of our loss — something we naturally don't want to do.

• It is easier to avoid, repress or push away the pain of grief than it is to confront it.

• It is in embracing your grief, however, that you will learn to reconcile yourself to it.

• You will probably need to "dose" yourself in embracing your pain. If you were to allow in all the pain at once, you could not survive.

CARPE DIEM:

Reach out to someone who doesn't try to take your pain and sense of loss away. Spend some time with him.
