Aarvy helps us learn that: Grief is a natural healing process; Grief is emotional physical, spiritual; Grief is highly personal; Grief can connect rather than separate when experienced fully; It is OK to remember; Rituals and imagination assist healing; Friends can hold hope, witness sorrow, and assist healing.
