    “I don't think that the reason that grief is a problem is that we don't talk about it enough. I think that there isn't enough education. I think that there's a great misunderstanding, that there's a checklist or a timeline that people have to follow, and none of that is true. Everyone goes through grief in their own way and in their own time, and you learn how to live with it.” -Maryann Udel

    Maryann Uedl faced grief at the age of 24 when her husband was killed in an automobile accident. Now as a coach she guides people to a life beyond their grief.
