A Message From Kendall Songer
I've recently lost my grandfather, who was very important to me. I've been struggling with regret - I feel responsible for missing my opportunity to say goodbye.
I've been trying to see silver linings in this experience. I feel lucky to be a part of a grief awareness program where I'll be working with and supporting those who have also recently lost a loved one. I'm hoping I can channel my feelings, and what I’ve needed from others emotionally, productively into an understanding of how others might experience grief and how I can best support them.
For anyone else who has gone or is going through this experience: I hope you search for the good things like I have been forcing myself to do.
Thank you for helping make it possible for me to take my experience and gain something positive from it :)
