I lost my sweet old man dog in February and I will never miss an opportunity to talk about him. Im so thankful for the people in my life who don’t feel like they have to tip toe about asking about Jack and how I’m doing, it’s worse to pretend like I’m not grieving and dance around it. He existed and I love sharing about him

summer is my favorite season, and it also contains so much grief and memory. my older brother died 9 years ago on july 9. i continually grieve all the people i wish he could’ve met. i wish he could’ve seen me come out, build my life, try new Taco Bell items together.
i wanted to invite anyone who feels like it to share something about someone you love and grieve. i love hearing about them!
this is Sawyer and he loved motorcycles, Mythbusters, and movies.

⚱️this is something i feel really strongly about to improve all of our lives and grieving processes. especially for Americans, it’s an enduring taboo that talking about death is too dark, too bummer, too disturbed. i think this renders all of us without a roadmap or community when, inevitably, someone dear to us dies.
practicing talking about it, building a distress tolerance to it, learning about other people’s experiences with death, are all some of the things that have helped me the most since my brother’s death. it truly is the most universal great mystery and i think we’d all be better for it to walk through it together.

😃man i thought this would be obvious but recently my best friend lost her mother. i was trying to think of other instances before hand when I had to be there for someone & couldn’t pin point something that felt …. I don’t know, something other than “im sorry” , something that felt really sufficient.
while I understand that physically just being there for someone is helpful, when I was reading about this I didnt realize there are things that aren’t helpful & things that are more helpful to say to someone, with some not being super obvious
For example, Asking “what do you need from me” didnt make the cut as being helpful. I couldn’t pin point if I used this phrase before previously, but this one might not have been as obvious.
Reading about it was super helpful honestly. Could apply to any situation, not just limited to death. If someone you know is grieving, think about your response! I’m excited to take what I learned into future similar situations & happy to learn how to support my loved ones through difficult times

🤝i will literally always stop someone who is hogging a conversation when someone has been trying to say something—what you have to say is important and I care 😤
