Dr. Neimeyer’s column for @grievingandloss (AfterTalk):

[AfterTalk @grievingandloss]

Dear Dr. Neimeyer,
My husband died just over a year ago, so now begins my second year without him, and I am not looking forward to it. It’s not that I am immobilized by grief...It's just that I feel lost and listless at home, even though..."

@LeselDawson @RANeimeyer Hi Lesel - Dr. Neimeyer no longer uses that Twitter account, but thanks for sharing your interview with him from@the @GoodGriefFest

[Lesel Dawson @LeselDawson]

I love @RANeimeyer’s analogy of grief as a fire that ‘levels us right down to our foundations’. He talks of the ‘radical challenge’ of needing to adapt to a new life & ‘reconstruct rather than relinquish’ our bond w the person who died: https://t.co/tSXLmX2U6N @PortlandLoss 2/7
