Help Texts

When someone we care about is grieving, most of us do the exact same thing:

We freeze.

Terrified of saying the "wrong" thing, we stare at a blank text thread. We overthink. Or worse, we send the well-meaning but exhausting: "Let me know if you need anything!"

Here is the hard truth about grief: Asking a grieving person to tell you what they need just gives them another task to manage.

Support doesn't require grand gestures, and you don't need to be a therapist to get it right. It simply requires showing up and removing the pressure.
