"Pause" to Grieve Campaign

When someone important to us dies, no matter how much we'd like everything to get back to normal, life doesn't just keep moving along as if nothing happened. It's important to pay attention to what we’re experiencing, and to take care of ourselves while we're healing. It's important to PAUSE, to take a break, to stop what we're doing for a moment (or for a longer time).

We need to PAUSE to feel our feelings, and to grieve our loss. We need to PAUSE to bring our person to mind, and to continue that relationship in our hearts. And for those of us who know someone else who is grieving, it's just as important for us to PAUSE our lives for a time in order to support our grieving friend.

This set of three posters is available to remind us to do just that.
