Helping Others to Help Yourself: Volunteering as a Grief Coping Strategy

September 23, 2017 — 5 Comments

Grief Science describes evidence-based strategies for coping with bereavement loss. It reports on new and significant grief-related research and tells how I have coped with the suicide death of my only son, Brady Nathaniel Henricks, on October 2, 2016. This is a story of hope, of optimism, of curiosity and of my commitment to life and to living as well as I possibly can in the face of one of the most devastating losses any person can experience. Don’t expect poetic writing or eloquent expressions of the agony of bereavement. I am a father who couldn’t save his son, and is now trying to save himself. The only things that hold my attention now are things that promise to lift me out of this life-threatening position. The purpose of Grief Science is to share with others evidence-based approaches they not have heard of and that might possibly help reduce the length and severity of debilitating grief symptoms. I’m not interested in telling anyone what they should do or should not do. Only what they could do if they are of a mind to. If you are grieving the loss of a loved one and are desperate to feel better, I hope you can find help here. Please do click the “Follow” button, comment, like and share.
