Most of us have little formal education on how to handle grief. Much of what we learned as children came from watching how the adults around us tried to deal with the pain of loss. Since they also had no formal education on dealing with their grief, they were struggling as well. In many cases, they tried to cope by burying that pain in their heart and never talking about it. That didn’t make it go away, it just took away their ability to truly feel happy. But it is never too late to take recovery action!
