In my experience, grief is a very difficult road to travel with many obstacles, challenges and very strong emotions along that path. There is no right or wrong way as grief, in its very nature, is a very personal journey and something all of us have to face.
What I have learnt from my personal experience, is to face grief - not to try and hide from it or bury it but to see it for what it is - part of living this life. Just as we experience joy, happiness, wonder, amazement, love we also will feel pain, injustice, sadness and grief. All of these emotions and how we react to them shape who we are.
The truth is the more we love someone, the greater the grief is when they pass away even if you believe (as I do) that they are themselves on a journey to be reunited with loved ones who have passed before. The fact that they are no longer physically here for us to hold is what pains us. The strength of your grief mirrors the strength of your love.

Absolutely RiverWhisper!- A fab post by the way!
It has been said that absence makes the heart grow fonder but the comfort is knowing in spirit that they are around and when they are no longer here in physical, but are here as positive energy that can guide us from beyond. The bond between our loved ones as well is very much there as a feeling connecting us to them via love and our hearts.
A lesson very well learned, indeed. One to remember when approaching grief with a positive perspective. May shift things perception-wise, and slant them in a different light entirely.
