coping with grief

Verywell / Julie Bang

We also dont know what to say to someone who is grieving.

So sometimes, we avoid saying anything at all because we dont want to risk saying the wrong thing.

But, grief is the process by which we heal.

And staying strong through grief isnt about not crying or not feeling sad.

Its about allowing yourself to work through uncomfortable emotions so you’re free to heal.

I also share how to stay mentally strong when youre working through grief.
