1 GRIEF & MOURNING Counseling or Therapy? Grieving allows us to heal, to remember with love rather than pain It is a sorting process One by one you let go of things that are gone And you mourn for them One by one you take hold of the things that have become part of Who you are and build again --Rachel Naomi Remen In Worden, 2009
