Topic Tuesday - Grief Its Complicated

article image placeholderUploaded by @MHNmaven
And I want to think about what we've experienced the last many years, about the death of people we don't even know, but yet we grieve. It could be hearing about the people who passed away from COVID. There's been Benny, there's been a lot of people. My father passed away. That's a really big grief for me. But that's personal connection. But like celebrities, why do we grieve or feel the symptoms of grief when somebody like that passes?

Not guilt, but a relief because he was no longer suffering. So grief no two people grieve the same. No one has the right to tell you to stop grieving, to stop mourning. And I'm very careful when people talk about their loss that I'm not insensitive to what they're feeling. Some people just take longer to process the loss of what could have been, what should have been

And all of those things that we spent most of that time being distant from them and thinking ill thoughts of them. And instead we can replace it with I have more memories that are loving and caring and lead to laughter as I think of this person in my time with them here in this world, in this space, to be grateful for even the mundane things

And like you said, all these actors and other people that are young, that are near you in your community, my neighbor's husband, two of them within six weeks. Time was crazy last year, and it's been a year now since they've been gone. And life moves on, but it still affects you because you saw them, you'd wave to them, but you didn't really have this big relationship with them. But you know of them, you saw them
