There are some things we say to grieving hearts that we mean to be comforting… but they often land as heavy. 🤍
“Just be strong.”
“God needed them more.”
“It will get better, just give it time.”
Grief does not need fixing.
Grief doesn’t need spiritual bypassing.
It does not need rushing.
And it certainly does not need strength demanded of it.
Grievers need space to feel what they feel.
Grievers need our compassion.
Grievers need our presence.
Grievers need our witness to their pain and our “ withness” in it.
If you are grieving, please hear this ~
😌There is nothing wrong with you. If you are experiencing intense anxiety, overwhelm or depression~ that makes sense.
😌You aren’t broken ( though you may feel broken 😭) so you don’t need fixed.
😌There is no checklist or timeline you are supposed to follow.
😌Your body, heart, and spirit are doing exactly what they need to do.
And if you are walking alongside someone who is grieving, your quiet presence matters more than the right words ever could.
