GOOD GRIEF


Grief is weight - something you bear, a
heaviness you learn to carry.
Grief is the weight of never.





- Ron Marasco -










Grief is something none of us
can escape yet the topic is rarely discussed because there is no one way we all
experience it. Knowing how difficult the subject is
Ron Marasco, on the faculty of Loyola Marymount University, began teaching a course on grief and
his book, Grief, grew out of
his lectures and research.






Due to nature of the topic
many grieving people feel alone in their pain and there exist no magic pills
for relief and even time, although it has an effect, does not eliminate grief,
at best it just may put it in perspective after a while.










As
Ron states: Grief is what happens when all the drama ends
Death
is the dramatic event, grief the harder slog.





A
while back I had a moving conversation with Ron about the topic and it proved
to provide solace for many of my viewers. I now want to share it with all with
the hope that it may comfort those in grief, those who know someone in grief,
and eventually all of us, if we haven't already will experience grief.










Below is my entire conversation with Ron.
Click on the image and share with all who may benefit. As Ron so eloquently states:
Grief
teaches you a lot about yourself.












Plus, airing this week on
most of our PBS stations is my conversation with the beautiful actress
Victoria Tennant about her gorgeous photo/biography Irina Baronova. Irina is Victoria's mom and the woman who brought ballet to America.





Enjoy them both and have a great week,


Barry
