1.) Others don’t understand the loss of their dearest companion.
2.) Stages of grief are discussed from a different perspective. We are reminded that people don’t move through the stages in any predictable manner.
3.) We are reminded that grief is unique and grieving persons are warned not to compare themselves with another person.
4.) Non-grieving people don’t fully understand the level of loss the grieving person has suffered
A.) Do they know the suffering caused by the loss of a future with the deceased partner?
B.) Do they fully appreciate all the life events that the grieving partner will face alone?
