NPR’s Morning Edition had an excellent report on the Boston bombing which happened one month ago today. Only one business has not reopened. And the reporter talked to many witnesses who were there that day. Their comments reflected how grief works. One man said his birthday was coming up soon and after that, he was putting the memories away. “If you dwell on it, it will swallow you up. Every wound needs to heal.” A grief therapist said there should be no timetable to the grief. Some will move on; others it will take a long time/ Rebecca Nappi , End Notes. More here.
