Where were you when I needed you?
The saddest question we ever hear is, "Where were you when I needed you?"
That's what people ask when they find out what we do in helping grievers. We're presenting helpful and accurate information on this site, at the time you need it most, with the hope that you'll never need to ask that question.
It's an honor and a sad privilege to be addressing you, knowing that each of you has recently experienced the death of someone important to you. We also know some of you are reading this because of your care and concern for someone who is confronted by the death of someone important in their life.
We bring our personal experience in dealing with the deaths of people who were important to us, and our professional know-how in helping grievers for more than 30 years. We'll help you distinguish between the "raw grief" that is your normal and natural reaction to the death, and the equally normal "unresolved grief" that relates to the unfinished emotions that are part of the physical ending of all relationships.
A basic reality for most grieving people is difficulty concentrating or focusing. With that in mind, we asked Tributes.com to print our articles in a large type font to make them easier to read. Sharing our concern for grieving people, they agreed.
From our hearts to yours,
John

The Impact of Grief During the Holiday Season
In this sixth installment of the Tributes.com Grief Recovery Webinar Series, Russell Friedman, the co-creator of The Grief Recovery Method, gives helpful guidance for grieving people who are dealing with the emotions generated during the Holiday Season. This session will be helpful for those who are entering the Holidays for the first time since someone important to them has died, and even if the death occurred a long time ago.
The video topics include:
-
The empty seat at the dinner table is a massive reminder of who's not there
-
Family rituals that also point out who is missing
-
Learn what to say, because not saying anything about the loss can make grievers feel even worse
-
Creating a connection with the grieving person helps them participate instead of isolating at this most painful time
There is a 30-second delay at the beginning of the webinar replay
