5 Salient Points
- Grieving transforms how we empathize with others—we only truly understand grief when we experience it ourselves.
- Avoiding grief delays healing; grieving is therapeutic and necessary for moving forward in life.
- Support—whether from friends, therapists, or grief groups—helps us “row the canoe” of sorrow with more strength and direction.
- Grief can feel like being locked in a cell, but the door is often open—we need the courage to step through to freedom.
- Embracing life again, like Mary Oliver’s dog in the snow, is an act of joy, resilience, and reclaiming our right to happiness.
