Mothers Against Medical Abuse
A community of people sharing insights of personl grief and growth
Grief has no typical or quick relief, you must allow yourself to move through the process
There is absolutley no right way or wrong way to grieve
Some Suggestions:
Stay Connected into some kind of activity
Church, Support Groups, Friends who are Understanding and Gentle with you, Cry, Scream
Get it Out!!!
Try not to isolate yourself Seek a doctor; they are the best source of help for physical and emotional help after experiencing the death of a loved one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Respecting Individual Ways of Grieving
Each person I have met while on this journey has expressed their individual and unique way to move through his or her grief.
For myself walking with God and remaining faithful to his plan is what continues to push me.
Having a strong mind-set...
Knowing that our children are valuable to God
It takes a hugh amount of determination to move through grief
Trust Him...
