I’ve not heard about a grief partner before, but I can see how important this can be. Thank you for sharing, Lisa. I’ll have to think about this.

I appreciate the term ‘grief partner,’ Lisa. It really brings home the depth of empathy needed when walking through sorrow with someone. Big hug to you for the pain and sorrow you are feeling right now. Smiling that you couldn’t get past your sister. Rejoicing that you have dear ones to walk with you in this valley you are treading right now.

In reply to Linda Stoll. I didn't know you had a personal connection with Marisa! I really benefited by her book and reading her story. I'm glad you've had your own set of Grief Partners this year as well, Linda. They truly are blessings.

Very very nice blog post. Really good. I have 3 different people with whom I can go with my troubles. My husband, my sister and my friend.

Oh Lisa … my red nose gives away my crying too–100 percent! And I love the term “grief partner.” My sisters have filled this role in different ways, as well as friends who gave me the gift of listening more times than I can count. As I think about it, I would also include several blogging friends in this category too … dear ones who stuck around through all my writing about sad things and encouraging my heart simply by commenting.

Grief partners are very precious & you’re right it’s not always who you think it will be Lisa.
And are great blessings in our time of grief.
Blessings, Jennifer

Wow what a heart breaking yet blessed post to write. WE all need people to come along side of us especially during grief. I find comfort in your words that not everyone is the right grief partner. I pray all people find that companionship when they need it. May it be so.

It made me smile to see Marisa’s book here today, Lisa. Her parents were friends of ours and I was at her home the night her Mom died. I really appreciated her book.

And yes, what a gift Grief Partners are. I’ve been blessed to have a few with each loss that’s come. Sheer gift.

I continue to pray for you.

Humm… Interesting a grief partner. I never looked at it that way. It’s such a treasure and a blessing to have such people in our lives.
