When people are sick, others may ask them how they are healing from whatever was wrong. 

If you are going through major surgery, have broken an arm or whatever, you have a healing process to go through. Grief is the same.

When your arm has been broken, it needs to be set properly so it will heal in the right way. 

Your grief needs to be observed so you can heal properly also. If you have depression, watch to make sure it doesn't get out of control. Get professional help if this happens before it is too late.

 Perhaps, join a grief support group if you want, where you can be open about your loss, and begin your healing journey. There is no set time for when you will be healed, because each person is different. You will always remember your loved one, but the perspective will change over time.

Don't let anyone put a time limit on your grieving. I knew someone who gave her relatives 30 days to grieve their loss. How sad! 

If you are a praying person, be honest with God about what you are feeling. He loves you more than you can imagine, and always listens even when no one else will.

Find friends who are compassionate listeners and do the same for them when they need you in this manner. Helen Keller said, "It is better to walk with a friend in the dark than to walk alone in the light." Do you have friends who will walk in the dark with you? And equally important, are you that kind of friend to others?

Leave a comment about what you are grieving about, and include a grief topic you would like me to write about. I will be glad to help you in this manner.
