New York Times article on grief

This is a quick note.   The Times ran an interesting article on grief today (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/29/health/29grief.html).   They describe an approach to dealing with "extreme grief" - involves writing about the death in detail, and using the act of putting the description away to learn how to "put the feelings away."  Interesting, but I'm not sure the author or the psychiatrist interviewed (M. Katherine Shear) have actually had to try this.  I'm not being critical - just wonder.   I may try it.   The post will be well labeled.
