GRIEVING ON THE INSIDE
One of the most significant findings of studies that delve into the topic of grieving is that other people, particularly non-family members, may be unaware of (or insensitive to) the inner pain experienced by grieving individuals. In our modem times, since we have all but abandoned such ritual symbols of mourning as widows weeds for women and black armbands for men, strangers and acquaintances of the bereaved may not be able to recognize that he or she is carrying an inner burden. As Metastasio once observed: "If the internal griefs of every man could be read, written on his forehead, how many who now excite envy, would appear to be objects of pity?" Perhaps it is not pity that the grieving need so much as our sensitivity, understanding, and support throughout their difficult time.
If you wish to be sensitive to someone who is grieving, it is often best to simply express one's sympathy by saying, "I'm sorry for your loss." There is no need to be eloquent - a simple expression of concern can go a long way in alleviating the loneliness of the one who grieves. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, we work hard to offer you what you need as you go through a difficult time. If you have questions about our services, call us at 347-3431. We're here to help, and we care.
Quote: "Well has it been said that there is no grief like the grief which does not speak."
