I have been helping a little ( a very little, Beth does it all, I think) with the Hospice of Haines newsletter, and reviewed an article in the January 24th Time magazine by Ruth Davis Konigsberg whose new book The Truth About Grief (Simon & Schuster, 2011) debunks some commonly believed theories about the ways Americans grieve thanks to a load of new studies on it. She writes, “The latest research indicates that grief is not a series of steps but rather a grab bag of symptoms that come and go and, eventually, lift.” I thought that might cheer you up on this rainy day.
