I have said this many of times. Dealing With Grief -- "Following a loss there is typically a flurry of support from family, friends and the community. It might sound odd, but this can oftentimes make for a fun period, as families who are geographically separated are temporarily reunited, and the primary carers, who have taken on a lonely and isolating role, suddenly finds themselves surrounded and supported by others. The challenge is a few months down the line, when people get caught up in their lives again, or start to assume that the family is moving on. This is the time when the primary carers really begin to need emotional support. Grief is a long and bumpy journey, so remember that cards, flowers and hugs are appreciated early on, but being there down the road to hold a hand and offer a shoulder to cry on will be the kindest gift you can give. – Gemini Adams, author of "Your Legacy of Love"
