Gratitude
November is the month of Thanks-giving, this time can bring up the question, how can we be grateful when we are grieving? We may have family members in the hospital or recently (or not recently) lost a loved one that we will experience this time without.
Gratitude and grief can be closely linked. Professors Lawrence Calhoun and Richard Tedeschi of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte termed the phrase “post-traumatic growth” to refer to “the positive psychological change experienced as a result of the struggle with highly challenging life circumstances.” They find that individuals often appreciate their good fortunes not in spite of, but because of their trauma and loss. Swarthmore College Professor, Lynn Schofield '99, urges us all "to focus on the many ways, small and large, where we can respond to our grief with compassion and generosity. After all, even those who have suffered most attain more post-traumatic growth if they have strong networks and supports. Ultimately, it is up to us as a community to find ways to honor those whom we have lost. Although we can never fill their shoes—their shoes, are unique and theirs alone— we can be grateful for them and good to one another."
