Grief is a multi-faceted response to loss, particularly to the loss of someone or something to which a bond was formed. Although conventionally focused on the emotional response to loss, it also has physical, cognitive, behavioral, social, and philosophical dimensions. While the terms are often used interchangeably, bereavement often refers to the state of loss, and grief to the reaction to loss.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are stages of grieving and everyone grieves differently.
As part of my grieving I wrote my last post. I wasn’t being particularly brave or strong when I wrote it. I cried as I typed and at times I had to stop writing and let my tears flow free before I could continue. Putting my experience in writing was a step that I needed to take so that I could move on a bit further through my grief.
Once I had written about my experience I was able to stop remembering every detail just in case I forgot. I knew I could go back and read it whenever I needed to.
Each day gets easier and each day I have been feeling stronger physically, spiritually and emotionally. I am so thankful that I was able to take time to be alone and to rest, to heal. I am glad that I didn’t have to rush back into society and act normal!
Next week I am going back to work and I am ready to try again!
During these last weeks the Lord has shown me how much I have to be thankful for and how blessed I am. I have discovered just how much good there is in the world and how important relationships are.
Thank you for all of your kind words, your thoughts, support and prayers. Each and every comment helped me along in my recovery and made me feel cared for,
it has made me realise how important a kind word can be and I pray that I will be able to bless others the way that you have all blessed me.

Such a beautiful post Nellie darling. And thank you for your email. I've ordered a little something for you and I'll send it on it's way when it arrives. Let us know when you're back at work. I hope that work and the people there are also some kind of 'anchor' for you. They were for me during traumatic times. Lots of love to you and your family..Rachaelxxx
