Summer Grief … sharp glass can turn into sea glass

A BIG huge hug to all Grief Hope Members!

Each season brings its own set of challenges when trying to navigate your way through the tide of grief.  It reminds me of the George Gershwin lyrics, “Summertime and the livin’ is easy …”  While friends and family are having fun on vacation, at the beach and enjoying barbeques, it’s not so easy for those going through the grief process.  In the attached article, The Edge of Grief, a Summertime Reflection, author Ellen Frankel paints a beautiful illustration and comparison of grief where sharp glass turns  into sea glass through the tides of the ocean:

At Grief Hope Network, we recognize there are several ways to help you feel better in the grief recovery process. Many people don’t feel comfortable in sharing their feelings with people they don’t know in traditional counseling sessions. As part of your online grief support, you can connect and communicate with other members at www.GriefHopeNetwork. I hope you enjoy this message; post your comments in the Chat Room, Discussion Forum or Member Blogs.  Please reach out to other members for support there and share your thoughts and feelings as well.  Please let us know if the member grief blogs and online grief discussion forums are helpful.  I pray this site provides you Help for Today & Hope for Tomorrow.

Gratefully,
