Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 For many of you going through the ups and downs of grieving, I recommend a little paperback book called " A Time to Grieve: Meditations for Healing After the Death of a Loved One " by Carol Staudacher, published by Harper/San Francisco. Each meditation begins with a statement, like " I used to think of myself as strong. Now I'm so weak, I can't believe it. " If you relate to that, you read on -- a few quotes from various sources, then a half-page meditation, ending with a resolution like, " I am not weak because I bend. I bend to keep from breaking, and it is in the bending that I learn to accomodate the strongest responses of grief. I do what I need to do to get through this time, and I do it with a view towards wholeness, not fragmentation. " I hope I haven't broken any copyright laws by quoting from it!! You can read what applies and pass up the rest. I have given this book to many people, and they all see to get something out of it. Blessings to all, as we go through the confusing world of LBD.
