“When my grief comes knocking, I open the door and pull up a chair.
I sit with my grief when it needs company.
I offer it hospitality.
And when I’m ready, I share my grief outside of myself in some way.
Welcome, grief.
I know you’re actually love in disguise.
I’d be a fool to turn you away.”
~Dr. Alan D. Wolfelt
