<p>This month our theme is&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;Is Grief Your Friend or Your Enemy?&rdquo;</strong>&nbsp;I think for many of us&nbsp;<strong>grief</strong>&nbsp;feels like both -- it just depends on the moment. Initially when we&rsquo;ve lost a loved one,&nbsp;<strong>grief</strong>&nbsp;may feel like an&nbsp;<strong>enemy</strong>&nbsp;&ndash; a nagging intruder you keep pushing away. Over time, it may begin to feel like a&nbsp;<strong>friend</strong>&nbsp;&ndash; an invited visitor bearing gifts. Please know that there is no right or wrong way to&nbsp;<strong>grieve&nbsp;</strong>and wherever you are on your&nbsp;<strong>grief</strong>&nbsp;journey is right for you. Thinking that&nbsp;<strong>grief&nbsp;</strong>might one day be your&nbsp;<strong>friend</strong>&nbsp;can feel out of the question and that&rsquo;s okay. These are simply various thoughts &ndash; some of which might resonate with you. Take what works and leave the rest. This month we&rsquo;ll continue this conversation about&nbsp;<strong>grief</strong>&nbsp;as a&nbsp;<strong>friend&nbsp;</strong>or&nbsp;<strong>enemy</strong>.</p>
