Grief Must Be Witnessed

A lot of people compare their experience to others and get stuck. You don't want to go into comparison. That sends you down a bad path. We need one other person to witness our grief, not be an island. Think of it in America here. When my loved one dies, when I'm in a break-up or divorce, my whole world has been shattered. And all of you go about your business like nothing's happened. So part of what my work is, I see your pain. I'm going to give you permission to grieve. Grief becomes an amazing time of healing. It's an incredible window that we miss.
