Both the site and the book emphasized that people grieve differently. 

Some cultures emphasize dwelling on the deceased and allowing time to mourn whille other cultures strive to look immediately on the happy memories of the departed. The book mentioned that about 80-90% of the population after about 6 months following the passing of a loved one reach a point of uncomplicated grief. 

Many people form a deeper spiritual or religious foundation after such an experience particularly if they are older. 

It's important to have support when you're dealing with grief.]]> 2017-09-12 00:14:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lbrown0415/enb0pdo3dzaj/wish/186598302 lbrown0415 https://padlet.com/lbrown0415/enb0pdo3dzaj/wish/186600705 I liked this link because it touched on how it was ok to handle grief differently. It made a few key examples that I could relate to. The cousin at the funeral who's joke was quoted. That was me at my grandma's funeral. I didn't want my grief to overwhelm me, even though I was crying the whole time I was up there talking about her. The link touches on the fact that every person handles the passing of a loved one differently. Its equally important to recognize the stages of grief those around you are going through. This can even extend to the person everyone is grieving for if they are sick or a state of uncertain life expectancy. 

I liked that it mentioned that laughter helps tie us to other people.  

People don't often read up on grief and how to deal with it, but maybe they should. Like teaching people how to manage their money or how to ask for help people as a whole should be made aware of their sources for dealing with grief. The loss of a person we care about or even a dream we held dear is something I think everyone will go through at least once in life. 

I took the GIF from Inside Out. By the end of the film the girl starts to realize she can feel more than one way about something. You can be happy and sad about something at the same time.]]> 2017-09-12 00:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lbrown0415/enb0pdo3dzaj/wish/186600705
