Understanding the Rhythms of Mourning
Grief doesn’t follow a straight line. It doesn’t start strong and then gradually fade away like a wound healing in a predictable way. Instead, grief often feels like the ocean—powerful, unpredictable, and full of sudden swells. It arrives in waves…waves of grief.
At Foothill Funeral & Cremation, we’ve walked alongside many families in Glendora and the surrounding communities as they navigate the complexities of mourning. One of the most important truths we’ve learned—and often remind others of—is that grief doesn’t go away in a neat, orderly fashion. It returns, recedes, and sometimes hits just as hard months or even years after a funeral or memorial. Understanding this rhythm can help you cope when your own waves of grief arrive.
