No More Stages of Grief

This Psychology Today blog from J. Worth Kilcrease, LPC, FT, discussed the failings of models of mourning that are based of stages of grief. He describes several reasons why these models are not helpful to understanding how people mourn. Even worse, these types of models can create expectations of the ‘right’ way to mourn. HFA has many articles about the grief process, including debunking myths about grief.

I think widows can learn and obtain some comfort by reading the experiences of other widows who have walked the road before them. There's some comfort in knowing you are not alone in this strange land of grieving.
