My son once asked about estranged family members and said it was important to forgive . I agreed but I responded with the following because boundaries and self- respect go together .

A common myth is that children may not be impacted like adults after a death. In fact, it's not uncommon to hear comments such as "They are too young to understand" when referring to children's experiences of loss. Join Dougy Center staff for this free webinar where we dispel myths and raise awareness about children's grief.

Thank you to the New York Life Insurance Company Foundation for their continued support on topics surrounding equity, inclusion, and Dougy Center's commitment to children who are grieving.

I do think many people see grief as a mess to clean up or something that can be fixed.

Losing a part of who we were when our loved one died is hard the accept because we want what we had. We are different and it’s okay . Know that joy and pain can exist together .

Grief is a strange journey. Each time we embark upon it, it is as though we have never taken its roads before. No, I have that wrong: each grief brings us through a familiar landscape carved into unrecognizable contours. For we do not only lose another person; we lose the person we were with the one we lost.

Take care of your wounded heart . ♥️

Don't rush your healing. One step at a time, even if it seems like you're taking one step forward and one step backward. Healing takes time and it's different for each of us. 💜💜💜

In grief, it can feel like you're permanently broken, like there's no way you'll ever feel whole again. The pain is so deep and overwhelming that it's hard to imagine life without it. You start to believe that this shattered version of yourself is who you'll be forever. But you are not broken, even if it feels that way right now.
Grief doesn't break us permanently, though it leaves its mark. It changes us yes, and we don't come out the same person we were before. But it doesn't destroy us, even when it feels like that is what is happening. You're still here, still breathing, still moving forward in whatever way you can manage. And while it may not feel like it today, there will come a time when the weight of that grief isn't quite as crushing. I promise you.
You're not broken. You're hurting. And those are two very different things. Grief is part of your journey, but it doesn't define who you are or who you will be.

You are not depression , bipolar …. Not a disease or the rain - you are important and it’s okay to ask for help .

Who wants to be as hard, closed off and unfeeling as a rock ? To feel is to be human .
