Grow through Grief

This blog is a place where people going through the death of a spouse can come for inspiration and encouragement. My purpose is to help widows/widowers of all ages who are dealing with the challenge of being single again by posting uplifting thoughts and pointing you to resources that will help you and encourage you in your grief journey. It is an extension of the Grief Recovery Workshop. Dialog is encouraged, so the comments feature is enabled (with moderation to prevent spam).

The Power to Choose

We can nurse wounds of having been cheated in life, or we can be grateful and joyful, even though there seems to be little reason for it. It is this power to choose that adds dignity to our humanity. - Gerald Sittser

Recovery Reminders

What I’m experiencing
is normal.

My feelings will constantly change.

I’m in a process that
can’t be hurried.

Grief will not
destroy me.

I will heal.

- Lou-Ann Redmon
