wow - this is powerful... part of an interview with Bob Deits, author of Life After Loss

Q: What if a person doesn't want a new life and likes their old one?


A: That's what grief recovery is all about. Every bereaved person I have would give anything to have their lost loved one back. Accepting the reality that this is not going to happen and looking for something new is to find life after loss.


When someone says, "I will never be the same" I never argue because they are correct. But that doesn't mean they can't know happiness again.


People who try to hang on to what has been wind up with a distorted grief reaction and often have physical and emotional problems.


found it on google.... great interview - here's the URL:

    Thanks for sharing that. I sure hope there is happiness after this. If not, life will really suck...and my life is already better than a year ago.
