Grief is a terrible thing both to suffer and to witness. Often it is hard to know what to say to a friend who is grieving. But it is usually better to acknowledge their loss than to ignore it out of awkwardness or avoid them because you dont have the right words. Sometimes you dont need the words but they need a shoulder or someone just to listen. Even just sending a Facebook message or comment can help lift the spirits of a grieving person. Recently I was quite horrified to see someone ask that friends and loved ones stop posting RIP because it is old fashioned and not in line with her beliefs about the spirit world. How galling that she would presume to tell others how to handle a difficult situation and belittle their sentiments. Particularly when this woman had never actually met the person who passed. That is why I decided to write this post. All we can do in the face of grief is our best. Remember that a kind word goes a long way. ❤️❤️❤️
