Good Grief Reflections

This site is intended to be reflections, contemplations, and meditations on my own journey through grief.  I have had 22 people who were close to me die over the last 40 years of so.  I have been to more funerals than weddings.  What can I say, death has been a big part of my life and, when one really examines it, death is a part of everybody’s life.  Death is as much a part of life as eating, drinking, breathing, sex and paying taxes.  One cannot escape the fact they will encounter death at sometime in their life, even if it’s only their own.

Grief knows no demographics.  Grief touches everyone, young or old, rich or poor, black or white or asian or latin, christian or muslim or jew.  Grief affects everyone similarly , but differently.  Grief can run the gamut of emotions from mad as hell, to terrified, to great depths of sadness, to relief, and even happiness.
