Chosen Family Minimizes My Grief!
Estimated reading time: 0 minutes, 55 seconds
In my experience, chosen families have been a crucial part of my journey through grief. Although the loss of Jan was devastating, I have found comfort in the support of these communities.
As Melissa Kirsch wrote in The NY Times, chosen families are often created outside the traditional nuclear family structure and have become my source of love and support.
From grief support groups to my faith community and my circle of friends, I am grateful for the interconnectedness of these communities. They have become my chosen family, and I depend on them just as they count on me. Through it all, I have learned that love never dies.
