http://sidsgriefresources.blogspot.com/2012/01/grandparent-grief-nipped-in-bud.html
Monday, January 9, 2012. Grandparent grief “nipped in the bud”.

SIDS Grief Resources
http://sidsgriefresources.blogspot.com/2012/01/acknowledge-loss-embrace-and-own.html
Monday, January 9, 2012. Embrace and own the experience and the loss whatever you are feeling. Allow yourself to experience ALL the emotions of grief. Find ways to express your anger and pain in non-destructive ways. Build a support system of compassionate listeners. Let the judgment of others pass through you without damage. Forgive yourself for whatever you believe you have done or not done. Release the hurts, the anger, the guilt. Be careful what you release. Practice forgiving yourself for living.

Ask if they would like to help design the memorial folder. Peer support i...
