Comments on: 2008 a year of grief http://stephaniemanley.com/2008/12/2008-a-year-of-grief/ Commentary about life, relationships, food, and more Wed, 06 Jul 2011 04:24:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Stephanie http://stephaniemanley.com/2008/12/2008-a-year-of-grief/comment-page-1/#comment-72 Stephanie Wed, 14 Jan 2009 05:10:00 +0000 http://stephaniemanley.com/?p=75#comment-72 Thanks for the well wishes. I actually have to say I have been to two different grief series of classes, and they have helped. I have also read the Elisabeth Kubler-Ross book. I had actually finished one of her other books the day Michael died. Very weird how that one worked out. <br/><br/>The best thing that I have done for myself was to move back to Houston. I have a social network that is wonderful. I am also starting the conversion to judism, which also I think is helpful to me.<br/><br/>His parents and I are still very close. It is amusing now, because his mom is telling me I need to start dating now. I love her to pieces. While I may not quite be ready for that, I think it is very endearing of her to be giving me that blessing to move on with my life. Thanks for the well wishes.

His parents and I are still very close. It is amusing now, because his mom is telling me I need to start dating now. I love her to pieces. While I may not quite be ready for that, I think it is very endearing of her to be giving me that blessing to move on with my life.

I read two great books recently about bereavement. One was “A Grief Observed” by C.S. Lewis, and the other was “On Grief and Grieving” by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. You might find them helpful or comforting if you are in need.

What a year you’ve been through. I am so sorry, and I am holding you in my thoughts.
