Sometimes I wish people would only ask a griever how they are doing if they truly had time to listen to the person’s response.

It’s so hard to respond with a “fine” when you are feeling so far from fine. Yet many grievers say it’s just easier.

And yes some people are honestly asking with compassion and care and truly want to know.
For many grievers answering that question of ‘how are you doing’ isn’t an easy answer. And many grievers also say when they aren’t asked they feel the person isn’t thinking of them.

It’s not easy being a griever and sometimes it’s not easy supporting a griever either. Handle grievers with lots of care, compassion and patience.

After a major loss, people often are afraid to make decisions or change from the life they had. Thoughts?

Join me on this replay episode of my Spotify podcast. In our experiences of grief, guilt can play an outsized role. So today, I speak to two members of my online grief group, Tender Hearts, who are both deeply immersed in guilt. “If only my boyfriend and I weren’t on a break, I could’ve saved him…” “If only I hadn’t let my son go outside, the tragedy never would’ve happened…” These are hard conversations. But in the process of unpacking our guilt and self-blame, we can begin to experience pure grief — and that’s when we open ourselves up to healing.

I don’t believe we ever close the door on our loved ones. I’m not a fan of the word “closure.” I do think there’s an artificial "getting over it" that people want us to have. And/or sometimes when people want closure for those in grief, they’re hoping for them to find peace. What are your thoughts on the word closure? I added a link for free resources for grief.
