WHAT IS LEFT SINCE YOU DIED
I feel like I always say the same things over and over in regards to grief. There are a few “truisms” for me, but generally those are not even my own ideas.

Just as people are all unique, so is grief. No person experiences grief the same way. Therefore, although I have experienced my own grief and shared in other people’s grief – I do not assume that I have the answers for you.
