I read the book The Safe Room: A Sanctuary for Grief and Healing By Ekene Sabastine Aniakor The book gives even more than it promises to provide a safe space for one who is grieving to grieve and heal This book is not a rigid map; it is a compass guiding you through the diverse landscapes of grief. It will help you navigate through triggers, provide guidance for parenting through loss, and offer strategies to cultivate hope even in the darkest moments. The Safe Room stands as your steadfast ally, offering solace and companionship throughout your journey. Here, within the pages of this transformative book, we extend an invitation to embark on a journey that goes beyond words. It is a journey that promises not just guidance through the tangled paths of grief but a companion—a gentle hand to hold along the way. In crafting this book, our vision extended beyond mere words on paper. We envisioned a mnemonic, SAFEROOM, encapsulating the guiding principles of the sanctuary we sought to create: Support: Within these pages, find unwavering support as we navigate the intricate landscape of grief together. Offering a hand to hold, a listening ear, and a compassionate heart, we stand as pillars of strength. Acknowledgment: Your grief is real, and within The Safe Room, it will be acknowledged and validated. We honor the uniqueness of your journey, recognizing the depth of your pain. Fellowship: Discover a community of kindred spirits who have experienced loss and understand the depths of sorrow. Together, we forge connections, share stories, and provide comfort to one another. Empathy: The Safe Room is a haven where empathy flows freely. We embrace the power of walking in each other's shoes, offering compassion in the face of pain and understanding the weight of another's grief. Resources: Practical guidance and resources await you within these pages. From coping strategies to professional assistance, we equip you with tools to navigate the challenges that accompany grief. Openness: The Safe Room encourages open dialogue and vulnerability. Within this space, you are free to express your thoughts, fears, and emotions without judgment. Authenticity is welcomed and celebrated. Opportunity: Even in the depths of grief, there are opportunities for growth, healing, and finding meaning. The Safe Room embraces those transformative moments and guides you toward a future filled with hope. Moderation: Within this sanctuary, we ensure a space that is safe, respectful, and responsive. Our moderation fosters an environment where your voice is heard, and your journey is honored. I thought I would share this book with you.

Some people think that if you’re still talking about your grief years later that somehow you’re stuck or not moving forward on your grief journey. When in fact, it’s the opposite! Talking about grief is healthier than not talking about it. Not only are you continuing to process and evolve, you’re allowing others around you to do the same. That mutual compassion provides understanding and healing that can only happen when we’re real about our journey. Let’s normalize talking about grief so that we can collectively heal! How amazing is that! Author Michele Bryant Powell, MS, CRC Ebook/Book: 15 Minutes of Unpacking Our Grief
