They (COJ) helped me find different ways to deal with my grief, other than just sit there and be sad. But just knowing that I’m not alone and other people have gone through it too. Even if you feel uncomfortable going through it at first, it gets better, and there are people there who have been through the same thing as you. So you’re not alone. And it’s like a nice little break during the day. It also reminds me that grieving is not such a horrible thing because it will make sure that I can remember the good things about when my mom was alive.
