Loss can come in many forms, but each can take an emotional toll. Understanding what grief is -- and, just as importantly, what it is not -- can be an extremely useful tool.
Joe Colletti is a father who speaks from deeply personal experience, knowing that while the raw, immediate shock will subside, the grief never ends.
Joe is the author of From the Heart: A Father's Journey of Grief. As he wrote in the introduction: "I do not write as one who has come to the journey's end but as a traveler on this hard road. This journey is forever."
