There are lots of practical ways that we can support those in grief. Maybe the most important way is to not rush them through grief because of how their grief makes us feel. Just holding space for others and validating whatever is coming up is such a source of grounding comfort in loss.

cozy blankets won’t touch that.
grief is personal.
messy.
and sometimes, support isn’t welcomed
even when you’re trying.
you can only hope for the best.
