In our death-denying culture, many of us have not been taught or shown the language or behaviors that can be supportive during the time following someone's death, whether immediately after the loss or many years down the road. There is no universal prescription, but there might be some generally agreed-upon guidelines...
In case you missed the discussion, we covered a lot of ground! We used the following link of an article and short animation to get us primed for conversation. Our community member, Julie, shared with us some pearls of wisdom as well. She will post some highlights soon! What are some examples of things others have said or done that have been helpful to you when someone you know and/ or love has died? What has been been the opposite of helpful? How do you communicate your needs when grieving? Please share your thoughts and experiences
thank you for the link,Maggie. I missed the discussion.
