Grief doesn’t need fixing.
It needs holding. Witnessing.
Don’t rush in with solutions.
Just show up. Bring a cup of tea.
Ask if they want to talk. Or not.

E is for eating. She honestly never stopped. Whether it was her "bot" (milk), sweet, savoury, hers, most definitely not hers, if it was there, she would eat it. She was by far the easiest to please food wise. Obviously a big fan of an advent calendar too. ❤️🎄 #GriefAwarenessWeek

; how could grief ever be described as linear?
a heart does not break straight down the middle into two perfect halves. the fracture forms a zigzag wound; grief traces the scar it leaves behind.

It’s very fair to say grief has no timeline, no prescription to fix it but important to accept it’s part of a very long line towards healing & acceptance
