When a Loved One Dies we often go into shock. What has happened doesn't
really penetrate. It's only later that we start to experience our
emotions, what that person has meant to us. This is when grief and
loneliness begin. For many of us this is also the time we start asking
questions, like what does death really mean? We want to know, and
understand. This time of sorrow can also be the start of a new,
spiritual path.But whatever our reaction, for almost everyone it means
passing through a dark tunnel. It is only beyond the deepest darkness
that light begins to dawn again, and we can gradually open ourselves to
life once more. When the end of the tunnel comes in sight, you are a
different person. Every mourning process is a process of transformation.
