The Grief Sessions

What is one piece of advice that you would give to others who are struggling with grief?

"You have to let yourself feel the grief.
You have to let yourself feel the pain.
There’s no other way to process it.
You can’t bury it.
If you bury it, it just comes up in new and interesting ways later, you know?
So, yeah. Allowing yourself the room to feel it."

The biggest thing that really helped me was talking to people who had also lost parents. That was the common denominator I found in the people who were more helpful.
If they hadn’t lost parents, or they had a long time ago or under very different circumstances, they just didn’t get it.
