The missing stage of bereavement grief: anxiety

6. It does let you know that there is a light

at the end of the long tunnel. It is some relief knowing that it is temporary and hopefully will pass quickly. I have a book called "How To Survive The Loss of a Love" and it inexpensive. I have given 3 to friends to help them and never got any back. There are chapters that are only one or two pages. When a person is grieving sometimes they are not able to focus for long. A loss can be a person, a home, a job, a pet, etc. My favorite page was a graph that showed how a person progresses and it looks like a doctor's hospital chart with a zig zag line like a lightening bolt. It starts of at the bottom, then goes up, then falls a little, then goes back up higher, then comes down a little, and it continues like this (sort of like two steps forward, one step back). It basically takes time.
