You Are Not Alone
Our culture has taught us not to talk about grief and to “move on” quickly for fear of making those around us uncomfortable. No, grief is not comfortable, but your feelings shouldn’t be suppressed.
Share. Share. Share.
Find the things you need to release the overwhelming wave of emotions that come up when you think about your person or something prompts a memory. Call a helpline. Find a therapist. Journal. Cry. Go for a walk. Anything but be alone for too long.
