Right now, I'm spending my time on the coursework to become a certified grief counselor. Here's one of the more interesting notes that I wrote yesterday:
Weisman (1972) writes that denial is actually to prevent the loss of a significant relationship. If we are generous and compassionate, we can/should interpret denial as a person trying to retain (or cling to) that relationship.
And our job may be to help the other person feel comfortable enough with the security of the relationship, or with letting it go. Either may lead to the person releasing their denial.
