“There is an art to grieving. To grieve well the loss of anyone or anything--a parent, a love, a child, an era, a home, a job--is a creative act. It takes attention and patience and courage. But many of us do not know how to grieve. We were never taught, and we don't see examples of full-bodied grieving around us. Our culture favors the fast-food model of mourning--get over it quick and get back to work; affix the bandage of "closure" and move on.” KnowsWellsChildrenArtHomeJobsMovingCultureParentLossAttentionKnow HowCreativeExampleTaughtModelsFavorsErasGrievingMourningOver ItGet BackGet OverFast FoodClosureBack To WorkBandages Author:Elizabeth Lesser
