A q for those who are grieving or who have grieved from losing a loved one: what is something someone has done for you that really made a difference in your healing process? What truly helps?
I want to do so much better with helping people through their grief. Sometimes, you may be naturally inclined to give people their space when really they do need a phone call or a care/food package.
One thing I’ve realized is that I have to do a better job of reaching out instead of asking them to tell me what they need. 9/10 they will say they don’t know or they don’t need anything.
My mom is the most recent example. I had to intervene and take my mom to brunch bc she couldnt even think about eating after the mass shooting at her FedEx job. W/ a loss of someone dear in my L.A. family, I’m trying to think of ways to help them out.
