grief
Are grieving clothes a sign of respect for those who passed or our way to tell the world our state of mind?
They may be well-meaning, but phrases like, "They're in a better place" or "It's part of God's plan" can come across as either hollow or insensitive.
There is no one way to feel better, but there are little things you can do every day to help you move through grief.
Feeling stuck in the grieving process? Therapists explain what to look out for and give advice on how to move forward.
It's not just psychological, but physical, too.
Mourning a loved one isn't just emotionally painful.
"Talking about the weather doesn’t make it rain and talking about death and funerals doesn’t kill us."
"I felt like an observer and that I couldn't do anything to help"
"I hated every single thing about this insidious disease ... I would have given anything ― my home, my limbs, my life ― to banish it. But its tentacles were too strong."
“'I’ll be there for you like I’ve always been,' I told my daughter. 'You’ve never been there for me, Dad,' she snapped back."
