Giving In

To Grief !;

It is widely recognized thatdepression is a natural part of the* grieving process. As our defenses break down and the reality of the loss becomes evident, there is an overriding sense of loss. There may be feelings of acute sadness and loneliness, as if we were the only ones ever to have experir enced such deep loss. There may even be the feeling that we hav$ been abandoned by God. Nothing is further from the truth. The feelings may go away and return with varying degrees of intensity and for various lengths of time. As we face our loss, though, and recon-* cile ourselves to it, the depression lifts. As we accept the past, we can look hopefully to the future. It’s important, however, not to. short change the grief process by wishing to feel other than we do. Grief is a long process for most, with various stages; some days we feel we have recovered, only to be hit once again. This, too, is an expected part of the grieving process. At the MOSER FUNERAL., HOME, we know that dealing' with death isn’t easy, which is why! we try to make your life easier throughout the process. We’re at 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton.
