When someone we love dies, we face a major change in our lifestyle. We hove learned to live with another person and have become developed patterns of living based on that relationship. Grief is away of expressing our discomfort with what has occurred. We are forced to realize that life has changed. Productive grief will make us look toward a new lifestyle without the deceased.
