Grief isn't as easy as they make it look.
You won't always feel the way you do now but, you will also never be the same again.
People will say the dumbest things but, they do mean well. Unless they are truly dumb and heartless, they have no idea what to say.
The hardest part of the day is the night. They make sleeping medicine for that. Suck it up and ask for it.
Its second by second.
Even when you don't want it, use that help offered.
You need people who will listen. Listen without interrupting.
Everyone can seem uncomfortable around you and you know what, they don't know what to do or how to deal. This isn't the movies. Everything isn't rainbows and unicorns.
Your friendships will change, thats okay.
That one year anniversary only gets you tears and more tears, no gold stars.
The days leading up to that dreaded day are usually harder than that day themselves.
Give yourself grace. Give others grace too.
Its okay to talk or not talk about it.
Your are not crazy and neither am I.
Most importantly, God is not mad at you and he certainly isn't punishing you.
Job 11:18 "You will feel safe because there is hope."
