The Importance of Engaging in Grief

Grieving is more about actively engaging with it. I don't think you magically feel better unless you're engaged in it in a more active way for me personally. Even just taking a walk feels more like a productive engagement in grief than lying in bed, taking the dog for a walk and then being productive. That idea of being of service, but also just being engaged with other life forms is a way out of the morass.
