"Death is the common lot
of all."

- Charles Watts

Grief:

It is likely you've reached this page looking for some solace during a time of grief. I am sorry for the pain you are feeling. I have compiled some web sites and books which you can turn to to help you discover ways to cope with your loss. There's a forum available, to discuss anything you wish regarding loss.

Remember, you have the right to feel whatever you are feeling. There is no one with the correct way to grieve. It's a very personal experience. Some of you will start feeling back to "normal" in a matter of days, while others may feel loss for the rest of your lives. Either way, it's okay to feel what you're feeling, even if it's anger, depression, or uncontrollable laughter.

My recommendation would be to find like-minded people, who may be sharing the same loss you are feeling. Whether it be a loss of job, of limb, or of a loved one, you don't have to spend time going through this alone, unless you choose to, and that's okay, too.

Want some support? Feel free to visit Godless Grief's own Forum. No spammers, no flames, nothing but talk.

Please note, I do not link these to any store online. I leave it up to you where you'd like to spend your money, or if you'd prefer to visit a library. Some books are decidedly theist based, but you can mentally rework these to your own understandings.
