Immaculate Heart Retreat Center’s Weekend Grief Retreat entitled “Life after Loss” will be held on Nov. 14-16. This retreat will be lead by Lori DeRoche, RN.

Humanity is rapidly losing the ability to grieve. We still ache and shed tears at the death of a loved one, but what about the living dead among us that we don't know, including those we think we know?

Why does grief hit you at such stupid times? I was driving to the store when it came. There was no reason for it, just tears.

First, grief is inevitable and is actually a part of living. Life begins and life ends and grieving is what we do for the latter.

Grieving teaches me that we don't know how much time we have left. If you need to do something — do it now.

Grieving is never resolved, never finalizes our sorrows. That is my 35 year experience with dealing with it and counseling professionally.

I think it teaches us that our inner lives, our souls, know loss but the feelings of grief are often ignored or minimized in our culture.
