Grief work: The path to moving on involves the work of grief -- grieving what you've lost and what it means to you. It can feel like some essential part of you is now missing, as if you'll never be the same again. And, you won't -- you'll be different. But the work of grief allows you to gradually assess, feel about, and integrate what's happened so that you can move ahead. A good therapist can help.
