Top 10 Rights for anyone grieving:
- You have the right to experience your own unique grief.
- You have the right to talk about your grief.
- You have the right to feel a multitude of emotions.
For anyone who is going through grief, it’s an individual experience. Each person, who is grieving, has a set of rights. If others can understand this, and allow the griever these rights, they can move along in their grief healthier and possibly sooner than if they are prevented from experiencing these rights.
Check out the “Mourner’s Bill of Rights” from grief expert, Dr. Alan Wolfelt. This was posted from a blogger friend who has a fantastic website Heartache To Healing, from JoAnne Funch. JoAnne’s website offers, “Compassionate Grief Support to Heal Your Heart and Soul”. She has many guest bloggers who offer HOPE and INSPIRATION
People who are grieving need to know that they’re not going crazy but have their own “rights” to allow them the freedom to grieve however they need to!
a widows pursuit 
I have moved from my planned retirement home of 12 years to live by my youngest daughter following the death of my husband of 23 years. I am on the same street as her but cannot find others in my age bracket for friendship NOT dating. My husband died on April 14 of 2017 and I am not ready to date just want a mix group of widows and widowers who would like to do things but understand how my grief still colors my life. How do I find people my age to socialize?
Don’t say senior centers cause I tried.
Hi Karyn,
If you check with some of your churches in the area you live, you may find some widow/widower groups in your age bracket. If you have any special interests, you may want to check out meetup.com There are groups of all kinds. Say you like bowling, I’m sure they have bowling groups you could join. I hope this works!
