 ◇ You lose at least half of yourself
◇ Grieving is pain, tears, anger, regrets, grief dreams, even heart pain (known as broken-hearted syndrome) ◇ You can love/be loved again ◇ You can have the pain of another loss again (big fear for most) ◇ You will always have the pain of your loss ◇ You will always love/miss your loss ◇ There is a mixture of pain and love together; imagine a rainstorm with a rainbow as you begin to heal, even find love again ◇ Your loss and new love will always have an overlap to a degree or more ◇ Loss pain does become more manageable with time ◇ Grief can be a mixture of all stages, even jumping from level to level, out of order ◇ The first 2 years are the hardest after a loss ◇ There is no limit in your time to grieve; as a matter of fact, once you've had a loss, there will always be grief to some degree, which leads to: ◇ We 'move forward', not 'move on' ◇ Our loss will always be a part of you/your children ◇ You have to heal first/refind yourself before finding love after loss ◇ Tears have to come in order to begin healing ◇ You will smile again
