“Let the dead be dead.

Grief changes, but it doesn’t go away.

Denying your grief won’t help you heal — nor will it help to spend more time with the dead than you do with the living.

If someone you love has died, give yourself thirty minutes every day to honor the person and the loss. Take an imaginary key, unlock your heart, and free your grief. Cry, yell,listen to music that reminds you of your loved one, look at pictures, read old letters.

Express and be with your grief, 100 percent.

When the thirty minutes have passed, tuck your loved one safely inside your heart and get back to living.”
