Clik here to view.
As I go through the second holiday season since the death of my wife, I have been thinking again about the process of healing, why it is so difficult sometimes, and what happens when it cannot happen.
I think that the issues around the holidays are familiar enough to those of us who go through this every year, and who have diaries about it. My bottom line is that the holiday season can sure suck, especially for those who went through their loved ones death during that season. I am always glad when it ends, and life returns to what passes for normal.
But what I want to write about here is when grief gets Complicated. With the capital 'C. Like every other aspect of life, it does that sometimes. No less an authority then the New England Journal of Medicine says so.
