Grief is like a needle that is stabbed deeply and swiftly across my chest, cutting me open, only to be slowly stitched back together with it.

Dr. Sobhani, you’ve alchemised the words to describe how indescribable grief truly is. Thank you for expressing it poetically and brazenly, so that someone like me who is hurting from losing cherished loved ones doesn’t feel so alone anymore.

Beautifully put, Mona. I find that I have to lead myself to the emotion (via writing and other means) and experience it in short glimpses.

Thank you for sharing all these beautiful resources.

Thank you for this article on grief, the elephant in the room, evaded too often. I felt to mention Martin Prechtel to you as another wise resource on grief. He has three potent, humorous, videos on U Tube called,”Grief and Praise.” The Smell of Rain on Dust, is his stellar book on grief and praise.
