ABSTRACT

When Cameron died we were intensely overcome with the deepest feelings of pain, distress, and sorrow, we had ever experienced. Yes, we had experienced loss and grief before. Our reactions and the duration of grief were different with each situation. We had studied grief and helped others. However, we had never actually FELT its impact so deeply. We were lost and helpless. We realized to manage our grief this time, we would need additional knowledge and support to help us deal with the magnitude of this loss on our lives. We hope that sharing what we learned on our painful path will help you. We hope the tools weVe found will maximize your journey toward growth and recovery as it has ours.
