Dr.Wolfelt gave an incredible presentation last night and I couldn't help but think about recent survivors who would have benefited from hearing him. It was general to grieving "properly"..my word, he would never have used it! Several things he said resonated with me...

Bereavement actually means = to be torn apart

We do not "overcome" grief, we "surrender" to it

grief feels so much like fear

he believes in mystical experiences

If you understand everything that is going on, you are probably crazy..

And something he said is nagging at me...he touched on aggitated grief, and he caught me looking at Mr.Alffe who was nodding his head in agreement and Dr.Wolfelt said..."I caught that...I believe in body signals". *grin

Todays workshop is from 9 to 3:30 and will be specific to abrupt deaths/suicide...it's for professionals but others are "welcome"...I'm an other...can't wait to hear him again.
