“Grieving people just need to be witnessed.” My dad just passed and that’s exactly how I feel. I just want people to acknowledge my pain and remember my dad. That’s it.

People experiencing deep grief are suspended in a world others can’t comprehend.

Ashley Stewart :
I don’t want anyone to fix me either. I want to talk with other parents that lost their child. I want my family to talk about the grief with me. Because it is so lonely.

Anderson this series is just so important & can be absolutely life changing. I am working on my grief always. It changes & comes in waves & I don't believe it will ever go away. We need to learn how to accept it & live with it to the best of our abilities.

I'm so sorry 😞 I'm also on a grief journey and I have sadly discovered that it makes people uncomfortable. Every person that I thought would be there for me has vanished. I don't think they understand that we need to talk about our loved ones and not tip toe around it.

There is this interesting thing that society does when someone dies. We give condolences, flowers and go to funerals but after that we act like the death is past us. But it never is. So the people who are grieving feel so alone in it. I think we as a society need to figure out how to support people years after a death and to remember to talk about the dead and to take care of the living.
