Jemmie -- so sorry about your losses. And, I do know what it is like to
watch an ill grandmother. I was my grandmother's caretaker for three years until my mom stepped in the last 9 weeks of her life. One book that really helped me with my grief is "The Courage to Grieve: Creative Living, Recovery and Growth Through Grief" by Judy Tatlelbaum. Perhaps this book can be of help to you? If not, I think finding a book and a counselor with a focus on grief is a good idea. Take care now.

Perhaps you could seek out a book which relates more specifically to bereavement and grief. I think that could be more helpful. The other thing to consider might be a bereavement counsellor rather than a group.

i have been going to a surviviors of incest anonymous group, gawd what a disgusting thing to have to admit. Anyway there are some very brave people in there sharing things with complete strangers that they could never tell friends about. Children are not responsible for being molested, yet there remains a lot of shame regardless. What I mean to relay is that I find it a great comfort to be around people that *feel my pain*. People that know what you know and feel. It is amazing how much it helps to know that *I'm not the only one*. Love mysteria
