ABSTRACT
I know that to face my grief is a way to heal the pain. I need to let other people support me in my grief. I will grieve for my special person on and off as I grow up. I am not alone. I will survive. I may not trust everyone, but I can trust some people. I can find healthy ways to express my feelings. I can adjust to the many changes of loss, a little at a time. I have the power deep within me to get through this. This is the beginning of a transformation. There will be rocky times and good times. I can learn from my mistakes. I can choose to take care of myself. It is all right to take breaks from my grief, and do fun things. I can live in the precious present. I can begin to see the silver lining behind the clouds.
