Comment on Feeling happiness during grief (and then feeling bad about feeling good) by Sandra Branoff.
I just lost my cockapoo maggie on Feb 22 and this article really put things in perspective for me. I just giggled at something a bit ago and made myself stop with a gasp- cause I felt its too soon..no way should I be happy yet. This article had made me truly understand the normal phases of grieving and that its ok that I had a brief moment of happiness. It felt good.
Thank you for writing this!
