DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Have you experienced the loss of a loved one?

2. Do you relate to the “pinball machine” analogy regarding the different stages of grief? How have you experienced these stages?

3. Is there a loss that feels harder to deal with (or that you are still currently dealing with)?

4. Why do you think death feels so unnatural?

5. If you haven’t fully faced the pain associated with a significant loss, what are some ways you can intentionally grieve?
