Please do not judge people on how they are grieving.
The reality is..
They are already judging themselves.
Because grief is not linear. There are no timelines or checklists to complete before we feel better.
This is the loneliest..self reflecting..
Most isolating journey that anyone will take in their lives.
Because nobody knows exactly what they are feeling.
Every loss and grieving process is different depending on hundreds of different factors.
Some may mourn the loss heavily for years and years and can’t get out of bed some days.
Some may have known the loss was going to happen and started grieving long before the funeral.
Some may smile and laugh with others but completely break down behind closed doors.
Some may be in shock for months before the reality of it all hits.
Some may busy themselves with plans so they dont have to sit with their feelings.
Some may act strong because they were advised to but eventually break apart.
Some are left with no choice to go on like it was because there are children to take care of and bills to pay.
Some choose to isolate because they cant relate with small talk about tv shows and neighborhood gossip right now.
But with all these differences..
One thing is the same.
There is nobody else in the world who knows what this particular loss feels like…
Exept the one who is grieving.
