When you're searching for information on a subject, what's most important? Credibility is certainly high on the list. Ask someone with experience, then check it out.
When you search on the internet for information about a subject, what's the most important thing you look for? If you're like most people - and like me - you look for credibility. Experience is not only the best teacher; it also gives insightful, relevant, and solutions-oriented information that you can count on.
A study or a proven benefit can enhance the credibility of some inquiries. But if I want to know how something really works, I ask people who have personal experience. It's the true test.
Whenever I write on the subjects of grief and loss, I am writing as a survivor. I've done considerable research, interviewed people, and worked with other survivors. Those who have been through it understand the emotional pain and mental confusion of grief. Though each situation is unique and no one knows exactly how someone else feels, having someone say "I've been where you are", is immeasurably supportive. A survivor gives you comfort when you need it most.
