Very interesting article TH...thanks. It made me think about H actually...I had a lot of judgements about his apparently not grieving the deaths of two of his brothers during our relationship.

It's worth noting however, that SWIRL refers to the stages of abandonment, which has been looked at as overlapping but differing in many respects to grieving to a death. I have found the insights of this book very helpful:
