Session Number: 3
Description: In this session, we discuss the two emotions you probably most associate with grief: anger and sadness. While, at first, these emotions may seem to be negative forces in your life, we want to encourage you to see them as neutral... as a God-given alert system to let you know that what you are going through is a big deal. We want to remind you in this session that the fact that you experience deep sadness is an indicator of how much you loved the person who died. But, we also discuss the fact that sadness can sometimes escalate to bigger challenges that require addressing--like depression. When we talk about anger, you may be surprised to learn that anger can actually be a good thing. It can motivate us to take positive action. We'll talk about how to differentiate healthy from unhealthy anger. And, we'll remind you that patience is key in the process of dealing with these sometimes-challenging emotions.
