Questions & Answers on
recovering from grief *
Questions asked during bereave
ment counseling are answered by
the editor of Afterloss, the grief
recovery letter.
Q. When someone you love dies, it
seems that you will never be happy
again. Is this so?
A. There is an adjustment phase to
every major change in our lives.
The return to a joyful existence can
certainly be attained. Some achieve
this happiness sooner than others
and for a variety of reasons. These
include (but are not limited to): (1)
a willingness to take the steps
required to work through your grief
(2) your own personality structure
(3) your tenacity and (4) the new
opportunities that may subsequent
ly emerge.
