I ended up not completing the Grief Share class. Got about halfway through and thought "this is not really how I want to spend my time off". I felt like:
*I couldn't make it apply to my life
*The content was way too preachy
*It took a 2 hour chunk out of one of my days off
*Some of the people seemed "stuck", so was it actually helpful?
The facilitator was going to do a "Surviving the holidays" thing on the 20th, but I had plans with a friend for that day. She was disappointed that I thought the class was not the right fit, but its not about how she feels about it that is important to me right now. I don't think there is one approach to dealing with grief that works for everyone. So I can keep trying things that people suggest, but I will drop them if they don't fit my situation.
I think that's a great plan. You have to do what feels right...and that cup is awesome.
