You agree to disagree. 7. Cry with someone. Relieves most to mourn alone. 8. Okay if you get angry with God. a l can bear. 9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck. 10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile. 11. Make peace with your past so it does not spoil the present. 12. It's OK to let your children see you mourn. 13.
