Vacations are for everyone! Grievers, included.

In my grief counseling practice, my clients often express the concern that if they go on vacation after a loved one dies, people might think that they are not grieving their loved one since they’re choosing to escape to somewhere enjoyable.

Here we are in the midst of summertime and there are variations of barbecues, swim outings, poolside cocktails, and outdoor sports. But what if you were just hit with the most awful experience of a lifetime? Your loved one has died.
