It’s the price we pay for our love for others. The closer you are to someone, the more likely you are to mourn and grieve their death. In my case, the pain I experienced after losing my Mum was much greater than the experience of losing my Dad for various reasons (See Interview I did last month), however one specific reason was because I had grown closer to my mum, obviously having had her around for much longer.
Shock, disbelief, confusion, depression, emptiness, and anger are all part of the grieving process, and I share more about these emotions in my book – ‘Letters of Hope – Encouragement for the Bereaved Child’
