While often very well-intentioned, it is overlooking what the person needs most: to be heard. To be seen. To be given a safe space to feel and to fall apart. To have someone witness their pain and sit next to them while they process it. Because grief can’t be “fixed”. And grieving can’t be rushed or rationed. It’s an extremely personal process that requires patience and compassion. It’s painful. It’s uncomfortable. But, it is necessary. May we sit with each other in it. |
