It has been said that it is impossible to comprehend the intense pain and anguish of loss until death comes to someone we love writes Silas S. Henderson. And, certainly, when someone we love dies, we also feel that a part of our selves has died, too. The loss of a loved one creates a new reality for those left behind. And in order to fully live in that new reality, it’s important to accept and even embrace the grief and heartbreak of the situation. In this CareNote, Henderson helps readers to move forward, to continue living a full life while remembering and honoring the one lost. Sections include: Life has changed, not ended, Give yourself time, Take care of yourself, and Honor your grief and celebrate your memories.
