@knowitallnicole: Grief has made me a sarcastic piece of work. 🙃 Top *real* helpful suggestions: 1. “I don’t have the right words, but I am here for you w/ whatever you need.” 2. Bring/offer meals or food 3. Offer help with taking care of the kids. 4. If you didn’t know the person who passed - ask them what they were like/ favorite memory / you’re fav thing about them etc. 5. SHOW UP! 6. Ask how you can help (only if you mean it). 7. “I love you, and I’m here for you - today, next month, and next year.” 8. Validate their feelings. 9. Remind them that grief has no timeline and they are allowed to feel all different emotions. 10. “I don’t want to say the wrong thing but I’m here to listen to whatever you want to share.” #widow
“ he protected you on this earth, and now he’s protecting you from heaven.” really, Diane? How the fuck is he protecting me from heaven because I feel pretty unsafe down here without him

What has helped me is when people ask me to tell them a story or something I love about my wife. I’m having a hard week.

Kevin would never not want me to be sad! But after I went through the grief of my 3rd dog passing he made me agree no more dog. He couldn't take my pain anymore. Rescued a 2 year old male dog best dog ever being without him!

I had a coworker tell me (a widow) about her friend whose husband passed away and the young lady is struggling (obviously). She proceeded to tell we she needs to take care of her kids and house and do this and that. She had the audacity to get offended when I told her until she lived it she doesn’t get to have an opinion 🤷♀️

I had someone tell me she wishes she could change places with me, meaning she wished her husband was dead and not mine:

I’m a bumbling mess when my family and friends are experiencing a loss. Instead of awkward condolences I show up with a box of Sees Chocolates or a bottle of tequila. I’ve never been turned away.

What God wants...is for you to live your life seeing things through this lense that you now see as your reality. Its not how you live, but how many people you impact with your story.. and that seems to be going quite well. Keep going.

Widow here...I can't tell you how many times people told me Bill wouldn't want me to be sad. Last time I checked, he didn't have to lose me, I lost him. Most ignorant comment ever
