When no one asks how you feel anymore,

When no one asks how you feel anymore but you feel like grief just hit you yesterday and your world is broken into pieces.

When we meet a grieving person, our own feelings from losses can come to the surface again, which we might believe that we cannot handle.

It might lead to us not asking, holding back and there can be a silence around grief and painful life changes. We hold back what we want to say ,

in order not to face our own grief or because of worry to say the wrong things.

This is the opposite of what a grieving person needs. 

No one should have to pretend to be alright because the environment struggles with handling the hard situation for someone.

The more we pretend the bigger the grief elephant in the room becomes. Unrealistic expectations about when pain and the grief should be ready and healed makes the process harder.

Don’t diminish your own journey and what you are going through.

You owe yourself understanding for yourself and the time you need. 

Thank you all for listening today, it makes me very grateful. I want to be a friend and a tool box in painful life changes.
