One thing I wish I knew about grief is ___
@Hope
One thing I wish I knew about grief is that it doesn't always get better. Because you will always remember what happened.
@Sparrow555 that's the truth right there. I mean it never gets better. you just get used to the pain and learn to cope with it. it does get easier through the years though I can tell you that.
@Hope
it will never fully go away
time heals
You not only lose the person who died, but also A LOT of people around you.
That's because everyone is going to judge you, and don’t respect your grief. If you're happy, that's weird, and if you are sad, it's depressing for people
Personally, I feel like I’m nothing more than the girl who lost someone, to my friends and family.
it is temporary @Hope
@Hope
That it isn't just about someone that died but you can also grief beeing taken away from them.
It's sad to me that children that lost their parents can grief their parents but when you're taken away from abusive parents you're not allowed to grief them because they were bad...
You still lost them though. And when you do grief them you feel guilty because why are you grieving those that hurt you?
@Hope One thing I couldn't see or believe during the midst of despair is that the pain does gradually lessen over time, although it took several years for me to feel any relief. This year marks the fourth since I lost my mom, who was incredibly close to me. I went from crying every day to once a week, then once every few weeks. Am I "healed"? I don't know, but life does become more manageable. I'm still not sure how to process it, but one thing I know is that I aim to take my experiences and be as kind as possible to others who have gone through the same thing. Because I know how excruciatingly painful it can be. I feel that I'm healed every time if I can make one person feel a little better because they feel heard, understood, and resonated with.
@Hope how hard it would really bad instead of hearing “it gets better eventually/over time”
@Hope
One thing I wish I know about grief is . . . that it doesn't end, but it does lessen over time.
the pain never really goes away. You have to embrace it and deal with it.
