“Grief is real because loss is real. Each grief has its own imprint, as distinctive and as unique as the person we lost.

We think we want to avoid the grief, but really it is the pain of the loss we want to avoid. Grief is the healing process that ultimately brings us comfort in our pain.” ThinkingWantHumansPersonsHas BeensRealPainLostProcessHuman BeingsLossGriefHealingComfortUniqueReflectionConnectionsIntenseHeartbreakingDistinctiveHealing Process Author:Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
