Good Grief: Is tehre a better way to be bereaved?

[Guest guest]

A former support group member emailed me a link to a February " New Yorker "

article on grief. It provides background on Kubler-Ross's " stage theory " of

grief and explains how " reality can be far messier and tenacious. " This is a

good summary of what we know (and don't know) about grief.

Here's a link to the full article:

This is a great article, Robin.  Thanks for giving us the link.  As a retired

English teacher I was especially interested to see the poem by Dickinson

included.
