Synopsis:
No one plans for the death of a baby in its sleep in their life script. No one includes the unexpected announcement of a divorce filing. No script ever features a cancer diagnosis. No one schedules a fatal road accident. So when our script suddenly collides with life's tragedies, a shock of acute suffering is triggered.
We often hear that grief is like a cold: Ignore it and it will pass. That's not true. Grieving people suffer from emotional shutdown. Their life's image is suddenly blurred. They need healing.
