Grief is a natural mental-emotional-spiritual process which helps us accept inevitable broken bonds (losses) throughout life. Some people and families grieve more effectively than others. Premise - incomplete grief is a common family stressor which promotes physical illness, and reduces bonding, inti-macy, and family nurturance. Family adults can intentionally promote a "pro-grief" environment in their homes by... ● assessing each adult and child for false-self wounds, and helping each other to reduce them as needed; ● learning and discussing "good-grief" basics, including permissions to grieve; ● identifying and updating the anger and grieving policies (shoulds, musts, have-tos, and ought-tos) in each family home ● inventorying the key physical and invisible losses (broken bonds) that each adult and child has experienced; and then... ● checking each child and adult for signs of incomplete grief, and learning how to free that up. In this Web site, safeguard Lesson 3 is devoted to helping family adults create homes and relationships that encourage healthy grief in all family members and supporters.
