This poem came out of a dream that caught my attention. It reminds me of the power of being curious that comes from writing as an inquiry.
What We Know About - And What We Don't Know - About Bereavement
Bereavement is the occurrence of the death of a loved one. The 'bereaved' is a term used to define an individual with a loss. Grief is not synonymous with bereavement. Rather, it is an umbrella term to encompass the emotional reaction to the loss. Emotions associated with grief are myriad. They fluctuate over time and are wide-ranging, including sorrow, sadness, and anger. While a single individual can experience multiple deaths, each one is a single bereavement occurrence.
