Center For Loss & Life Transition, with Dr. Alan Wolfelt
www.centerforloss.com
“What is Grief? The word “grief” is the simple shorthand we use for what is actually a highly complex mixture of thoughts and feelings. Grief is everything we think and feel inside after someone we love dies or leaves or something we are attached to goes away. In other words, grief is the instinctive human response to loss.” Dr. Wolfelt’s website is an extensive resource for those grieving a loss.
