Grief
We all know that death is a part of life, yet most of us cannot seem to accept
this. The loss of a loved one is usually the worst experience we can imagine
and have to suffer through. There is no escaping death. Everyone loses someone
in his/her lifetime and then eventually passes away also. So why do we struggle
so much with death? And why do some seem to have a more difficult time coping
and grieving than others? Just how are we supposed to cope with the loss of a
loved one? And how can we better understand the meaning of death? These are all
questions that are answered on this episode of All around Rockford.
