Does grief ever end is one of the most popular questions. In short no, it is a part of life and the journey each of us takes. Grief stays with us for the rest of our lives. As time goes on the pain of the loss is still there it is just not as strong as it was in the begining. As one journeys through grief there are changes in life going on as well.

Grief has a pattern and it is unique to every indvidual depending on the nature of the realtionship with the person who died. The realtionship between spouses is different as a child(s) relationship with his or her parents. It is the same for any relationship each person will feel the pain of loss or the lack of depending on their own personal feelings towards the one who died.

At times we all struggle with what to say when a loved one, a friend or acquaintance has just lost someone to death. We find we often struggle with the right words to say, often times we over think what we should say and we may decide to say nothing at all. At times just being present to the person can make a huge difference or one may say, “I don’t know what to say, but I am here for you.”
