Healing from Grief

There is life after loss





In August, 2011, my 22-year-old son Stephen went missing.  He was gone for a week before his body was found slumped at the wheel of my car parked at the curb next to a light pole.  Attached to the pole: a neighborhood watch sign.

Death leaves terrible loss in its wake.  The months that followed were a blur. Grief is exhausting. But I've found a pathway to hope and healing.  Here's how it started:

however we grieve it is ours alone, there is no right or wrong, time does not change anything, but it does help make the impossible a little less painful in time.

I am so sorry for your situation, give yourself time to grieve as you need.

What a terrible thing to have happen. I hope you recover from your grief and get on with living as you can. Some things, we can't change.
