No
amount of knowledge can prepare us for bereavement. Grief is the most
intense and enduring emotion we can experience. No quick fix. No short-cut.
An ancient African saying is "There is no way out of the desert except
through it." Knowledge of the grief process gives us a very generalized map
of the terrain we have to cover. Each of us will take a different route.
Each will choose his own landmarks. He will travel at his own unique speed
and will navigate using the tools provided by his culture, experience, and
faith. In the end, he will be forever changed by his journey.
