People in grief need someone to walk with them without judging them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's a general impulse to distract the grieving person - as if you could.
There is a point in the grieving process when you can run away from memories or walk straight toward them.
But there is a discomfort that surrounds grief. It makes even the most well-intentioned people unsure of what to say. And so many of the freshly bereaved end up feeling even more alone.
In some cases, some people do get depressed in the middle of their grief, and they really need to be treated for depression.
It takes strength to make your way through grief, to grab hold of life and let it pull you forward.
No one feels another's grief, no one understands another's joy. People imagine they can reach one another. In reality they only pass each other by.
You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.
Grief is at once a public and a private experience. One's inner, inexpressible disruption cannot be fully realized in one's public persona.
Everybody has their burdens, their grief that they carry with them.
Grief can take care if itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.
