Losing a loved one can be devastating. It can destroy life as we know it and we might never recover without the help of grieving. Grieving well honors the person and the love we had for them, but the essential task of grieving is letting go. We let go so we can grab on to the life that is waiting for us. Grieving involves trust that after the dark of night, the sun will rise again.
