When we grieve a loss, it can be tempted to suppress the pain, distract ourselves, and pretend that everyone is okay. That is not healthy or helpful. Grieve is not something that we can skip over or bury. Grief is something that we need to go through and experience in order for healing to begin.

We're quick to say, "I'm here if you need me," but often what people need is for us to reach out to them not for them to have to ask us for support. It's important to check in on those you love to see how they are doing when they have experienced something difficult and especially if they live with a long-term or chronic struggle.
