"I just don't know what to say!"
I hear this from friends and relatives, so I know many others feel this way. People dont know what to say to someone who has just lost a loved one. The fact of the matter is, it's ok. What's not ok, ignoring the person who just lost their loved one. In a time where you already feel isolated, being ignored hurts. So, if you're ever in a situation where "you just don't know what to say," just say, "I'm thinking of you." You don't have to go into an inspirational speech, aknowledgement will do just fine.

That is crazy you touched base on this because this is something I am currently dealing with & going through. I pushed everyone away after my mom passed and now that I want to get back out no one, mostly friends, are really around like I need them to be or they took it personal that I was not around. Its a tough situation...
ReplyDeleteYeah, it is hard because it feels like, no matter what you say, you can't make the situation better. Everything you think of saying seems so cliche and trivial that you wonder if you should say it at all.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I DO think of you quite often, Ashley! And hope you're doing well. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Kate O.
Anks for touching on this subject Ashley! I think about you and Crystal all the time but never know what to say. I also have a friend just lose her little sweet angel baby. I usually type something then reread it then delete it. This helped me a ton! I really look up to you! You are so motivating and such an inspiration!
