Many folks deal with grief at one time or another in their lives. I lost my beloved sister on November 1st from her fight with Parkinson's Disease. While I knew her death was coming it still wasn't easy as my sister was almost like a 2nd Mother to me. She was 10 years older than myself and taught me many lessons in my life. She was on this earth 10 years before I ever came along and could have been totally resentful of me stealing the spotlight from her. However, this was not the case as she treated me as if I was her baby. She always had my back and even beat up on the neighborhood bully when he was picking up on me. If you or a friend or relative are going through grief this podcast might give you some ideas on how to deal with grief. If you would like to join our grief support group you can contact Park Centre in Newton at 641 791 5000 or you can email me at mayberry10@hotmail.com if you have any questions.
