Soon after my wife died- her car slid off an icy road in 1985-a school psychologist warned me that my children and I were not mourning in the right way.we felt angry the proper first stage he said is denial
In late august this year my 38 year old son Michael died suddenly in this sleep leaving behind aa 2 year old son and a wife expecting their next child there is no set form for grief and no right way to express it there seems to be an expectation that after a great loss we will progress systematically through the well known stages of grief it is wrong we are told to jump to anger or to wallow too long in this stage before moving towards acceptance .
But I was and am angry to make parents bury their children is wrong to have both my wife and son taken from me for forever and a day is cruel beyond words
A relative from Jerusalem' who is a psychiatrist brought some solace by citing the maxim we are not to ask why but what the what is that which survivors in grief are bound to do for one another following that advice my family close friends and I keep busy calling each other and giving long answers to simple question like how did your day go today we try to avoid thinking about either the immediate past or the bereft future . We take turns playing with max Michael 's two -year old son friends spend nights with the young window and will be among those holding her hand when the baby is born .
Focusing on what we do for one another is the only consolation we can find.
