If you finish this post and you’re annoyed about all the things we forgot, leave a comment to keep the list going! I wish someone had told me…ġ. So, with your help, that is what we have today: a quick and dirty list of the things we wish we had known about grief before we knew anything about grief.

Not the theory stuff, not the ideas about how to cope… just the really basic things that people never tell you about grief. We think about grief a lot around here… We write about types of grief, grief theory, personal reflections, creative expression for coping with grief, practical ideas for managing grief, and on and on and on. But there are some days that all that seems like a lot to take in.

I am also keenly attuned to the abyss of harmful individuals and programs that want to use this connectivity to attack us, find vulnerabilities and take whatever they can with impunity. The opportunities presented to our children by this flat world are beyond what we could have ever conceived. Our children are growing up in an age where skills are acquired at an incredible pace, friendships can be enjoyed from across the planet in real time, and joy and diversion are in the most abundant and interesting formats ever imagined. Sure enough, these are all, without exception, connected to the internet.Īs a tech guy, I am an advocate for the abundance of educational, connective and entertaining information presented by internet access. I am currently at a conservative 11 screened devices regularly within eyesight, and a few odd others in drawers around the house. Today I walked around the house and counted all our screens.
