Ultimately, meaning comes through finding a way to sustain your love for the person after their death while you're moving forward with your life. - David Kessler

the reality is posttraumatic growth happens more than posttraumatic stress.

Your loss is not a test, a lesson, something to handle, a gift, or a blessing. Loss is simply what happens to you in life. Meaning is what you make happen

There is no greater gift you can give someone in grief than to ask them about their loved one, and then truly listen. When we see our sorrow in the eyes of another, we know our grief has meaning. We get a glimpse, maybe for the first time since the loss, that we will survive, and a future is possible.
