Well, I know for me, when I came into grief recovery, my parents were getting divorced and I was going through a lot as an adult doing that.
And I remember when somebody told me about this process and my first reaction was, I don't need that.
I learned how to continue to function and how to survive, how to pull up my bootstraps, how to keep going.
And I think what we don't realize is that there are over 40 situations that happen in life that are going to induce grief.
And that is anytime we say this, this is a definition that we use, unresolved grief is is conflicting feelings caused by the end of a familiar pattern of behavior.
So when you think about that, I think it really opens your mind to a lot of things that we experience, like you've named a child moving from into kindergarten, you know, is going off to college, all those things, divorce and death and losses.
I know there's even been, I mean, you mentioned menopause, like the loss of a job, moving.
And I know when I was first introduced to grief recovery, I was going through the divorce of my parents and I was an adult.
And I remember somebody telling me about grief recovery and it could help me.
