Grief and volunteering

Volunteering here on 7Cups is a wonderful way to help us through Grief & Loss. Obviously it doesn't bring a loved one back, but it is healing and it's the best distraction I have discovered.

Did you Volunteer on 7cups to help with Grief or any other major tragic event in your life? <3

I feel so too, Lucy, healing and hurting can go together, I find being there for others quite gratifying also.

It's also nice how we come up with the kindest words for others, that may be hard to come up with for ourselves, so again, being there for others, is in a very unexplainable-sort of way, being there for ourselves too.

Whatever helps, mhm?

Specially this community, filled with kind, supportive, lovely people from around the globe, certainly helps coping with loss and lack of company.

I'm so glad it has provided you the safe space also. ❤

Why would you even want to bring a loved one back? That's selfish, let them rest in peace they deserve!

@lucy2 I love this post!! I joined 7 Cups in the middle of the pandemic because I really wanted to continue volunteering but I couldn't do anything in person. I had all the time in the world and 7 Cups really gave me purpose ❤️
