Gentle reminder for ppl reaching out to friends who’ve lost their mother today. A simple, “how are you?” is perfectly fine.
I feel like it’s not talked about enough how this day actually brings about feelings of jealousy, regret or anger for a lot of ppl. 🥴
You may have good intentions in sending sympathy texts/calls, but assuming sadness first may not be what they need right now. Ask how/what they’re feeling first and see the impact that makes.
This does not mean text/tweet me y’all lol 😬. But I’m sharing this because I’ve learned from a lot of ppl it’s very hard for them to share their honest feelings on this without feeling like a dick to ppl offering them “comfort.”
