Grief Quotes December 19, 2023

“Your grief is as personal and unique as your fingerprint; no one else will have the same bereavement experience as you and there is not one “correct” way to respond to loss.” - Therese Rando

I've said it many times before (and will say it many more times in the future) but there are too many people who want you to grieve a certain way. The analogy I use is that they have a box that they think your grief can fit into.

Your grief can't fit into any box.

The key to getting adequate grief support is for the professional to teach you tools that fit into your own box.

Grief is an individual experience that we must go through. Although it helps to get support from others and be a part of a group or community, no one else is going to be able tell you what to do and when to do it - in order to feel better 💚
