We’ve lost someone deeply important & the way each of us is grieving couldn't be more different.
Thu Jan 29 2026
'We’ve lost someone deeply important to us and the way each of us is grieving couldn't be more different. Some of us want to talk constantly. Some of us don’t and it’s becoming harder to coexist without tension. Now we feel towards each other. Small things turn into arguments because underneath it all we're all hurting just in different ways. I find myself thinking, why can't I cope like them? Or why can't they see how hard this is for me? Then I feel guilty for thinking that. I can't stop thinking about my mum who has died. What would she think?'
