Said with so much love as we muddle through this weird time together.
There’s not enough education about grief, it’s not talked about enough, it’s taboo, how we’ve lost loved ones is taboo. Children grow into adults not knowing how to handle these big emotions through no fault of their own.
Maybe if we talked about it and dealt with it in community more, it would feel a little lighter and less isolating? Maybe. Just an open reflection as always.

Thankfully, you're all terrible at dealing with people who are grieving. It's not your fault because none of us are taught how to do that. We're not taught how to manage big emotions in our society, and I think unless you've been through it, it's really difficult to know what to say or do. So as someone who is in the trenches of a lot of grief at the moment, and I think on behalf of all those that are, here are three things, and I hate the three things, better these are actually three things that I think of that have really helped me from my friends and family. Number one, stop asking how we are. You're probably not doing great. You're probably sick of telling you that we're not doing great. You probably don't want to bore you with how bad we're doing. So stop asking. Just say, I know you're probably not doing good right now. I'm here with you, and I'm here with you in that.' Much better. Number two. Stop saying better me know if you need something. I'm never gonna let you know what I need. I don't know what I need. Something? What something? Who no? I need them back. I need my brother back and my best friend.
