Set a goal for your grief! Share below
And also maybe at this time and you're in point in your life or point in your grief or as you're thinking about other people that maybe they're just not ready for that yet and that's okay. Maybe it's something they can explore later on down the line. And really what the concept is and really understanding, and I always say this with a caveat, is grief will never end

Some people take a while to accept, and other people accept right away. I just felt like that sometimes people have preparation. For instance, when a person has cancer or when they've been sick for a while, you kind of know that they're going to pass when you've been given a time frame. But when you get a call and it's like, she might not make it to tomorrow, it's just terrible because you don't know actually how to feel about it

But when I saw and listened to what you posted tonight, I thought, my goal is to be able to to grieve and let go and be able to be present in the moment I'm in now and then in that next moment. So thank you

And so when it comes to our grief, how we process it, how we carry it, how we emote it, is even that much more diverse and unique. And so it really is about respecting everybody's process, encouraging them as much as we can, supporting them as much as we can, but also the way that they want to be supported. And so this makes me think of the Golden Rule, is treat others how you would want to be treated
And I know that's in no way in comparison, it's a point to try to empathize and try to understand more and I know it's a fraction. And what you have so beautifully described and so vulnerably described and so courageously described is anticipatory grief and complicated grief. It's all mixed in there. And there's so much power in owning that language

But I think also even if we are just a person that doesn't have people relying on us which we live in a community, we live in a world with people. And so to some extent, there are always people relying on us, but if we don't have that caregiving or parenting or other kind of role where people are relying on us, that we still deserve that care
