Absolutely brilliant. You could not have expressed these thoughts any better for those of us who are still struggling with terrible loss. I immediately shared your post with my daughter who I knew would totally love and relate to it.
A big YES to this. I found a companion statement was often “I could never do what you’re doing” which seemed to mean the person was admitting they were not this textbook version of resilient and that they personally would not be able to stay not dead in a crisis or grief. It’s crazy how alienating and isolating well-intended support can be.
Love your writings! Still struggling thru Grief, along with Myth. Who doesn't have at least 6 or 7 books open? Lol! Just a fan, keep up the great works. Your writing encourages me.
Woah. The resiliency complex for children. I hadn’t thought about that till now. PS - I just love your writing. A perfect combination of wit, humor and honesty.
