What is Complicated Grief?

As I am continuing my effort to gather and make information easily accessible for our NILMDTS families here in the Ottawa/Gatineau area (and to other families in the same situation), here is a short article describing "complicated grief".

It is described as the type of grief that takes over a person's life and that is more long lasting in nature.  I found it very informative.

5 Rights of Bereaved Parents

Via NILMDTS Facebook

If YOU are the one having to face this every morning then YOU should have some rights . . . RIGHT?
Still Standing Magazine ran this recent post and it holds some good information.
Ultimately what we need to remember is to be kind to ourselves while we are in the process of grief and mourning. It's hard enough to deal with as it stands but when expectations (oh, people love to put expectations on this!) are thrown at you too it can feel overwhelming.
