I have planned but neglected to follow thru with my plan to read Grief Observed! I have arrived at some of the conclusions that Mr. Lewis & you have surmised. As a surgeon, I have watched many a wound heal, some grievous with loss of body or functions.
After over 3 years I have learned that the scar obtained with my loss of sweet Tammy, friend, buddy, lover & wife remains tender & painful at times. My memories make me laugh more than cry, although cry I do still. The thing I like best and comforts me the most is when friends & family REMEMBER our good times and the many kindnesses she extended to us all.
No doubt. Friends that hang with you & let you tell them how much your boo-boo hurts & why are valuable. Somehow that assuaged my grief as much as anything. Good piece of writing JD
Being a foreigner to grief, even friendship, or love (the 3 most commonly referenced by C.S. Lewis)
I found your article clear.
Thank you kindly.
_Cherish is the new love, be well._ *May God nod to ward thee & thine!*

Iām very sorry for your painful loss. But because of it you would doubtless appreciate āA Grief Observed.ā
