still kicking

Nine, I am very glad you posted here again. We have empathy for you. I know that did not need to be said..still.

I have known several that stoically packed away their grief. I was one. At the time the culture we were in rewarded this. Doing so was not constructive.

Your oldest may not be comfortable expressing it yet it needs expression. He needs to know his expression is not adding to anyone’s burden. That it is a process. That it is healthy. That it feels bad like he is reliving the loss and that doing so helps to relieve it.

I agree counseling, everyone.
