"You may have heard - indeed you may believe - that your grief journey's end will come when you resolve or recover from, your grief. But you may also be coming to understand one of the fundamental truths of grief: Your journey will never end. People do not "get over" grief. My personal and professional experience tells me that a total return to "normalcy" after the death of someone loved is not possible; we are forever changed by the experience of grief."
Alan D. Wolfelt
