Here's some articles I know should be added to the above list:
Coping With the Loss of a Loved One
and for young ones:
How Can I Cope with the Death of a Parent?
I know you'll find these comforting and beneficial if you are suffering loss.
I just joined the group now, however, I have found some comfort for the loss of my husband on Feb. 11 through the Legacy.com and My Memorials and my FB friends. I feel almost unbearable to live without Paul. The emptiness and the senseless surround me and I feel lost and wandering around the tasks and chores of each day.
You were my Husband, My Lover, My Best friend, , May you Rest In Peace . My Condolences go out to the Family....He was Truly A Great Man . You will be Missed !
Always
Rachelle (Cheli) Manzi
