Heartfelt Comfort
We share T.E.A.R.S. :
 ...Time in solitude can be agonizing, especially for those who have not lived alone. Uncontrollable tears can last for long periods of time; while longing for your spouse and feeling the fire of anger, we want to scream at them to come back.
 ...Eventually, you will understand how to live with the "new" normal. Some of us have felt guilt as we experience grief and release. Letting go means you are human and will survive.
 ...Acceptance of the passing of a loved one marks a transition in life. Being ready to understand your new life without your loved one involves coping with pain and grief. Each day gets better with new beginnings without forgetting.
 ...Resolved feelings can surface. If you have arranged for individual counseling, attending a grief support will add to your recovery.
 ...Support for each other, being an active listener, you will come to know what hurts and what works.

Feedback:
A Group Focused on Grief
shared by A.B.
We cry for each other and ourselves. Some speak with a tremor or a sob, others are calm.
A few just say "pass", they have no words to share today. Some repeat a story oft told but still fresh and raw.
This room holds kind and hurting folk
with aching hearts and warmth for one another.
Why have I waited so long to be held in a circle
by my kindred - others who have been left behind?
We need this shared pain to enable our individual futures.
Hearing each other, we find reasons to be thankful,
ways to see hope, to smile or laugh briefly - and know
there will be sunshine again in our lives.
