Why do people say such things?
We're hurting. The last thing we need is to be evaluated. Unkind and unhelpful words end up only adding to our burdens.

We miss everything. This hurts. We wonder how long this will last.
From the Grieving Heart:
Grief is draining. Exhausting. No wonder there are times when nothing seems to matter much anymore.
Loss hits our souls too. It can jostle us spiritually. We come to realize just how little we control.
Guilt is seemingly never far from any of us. When we're grieving, it can become a frequent visitor. Surely someone, somewhere is to blame for all this. It might as well be us.
We all need to feel seen and heard. This is especially true when we're hurting from a loss.
From the Grieving Heart:
When grieving, we can feel trapped. It can feel like our options are stripped away, one by one.
From the Grieving Heart:
Special days become huge triggers for grieving hearts. Birthdays can be especially difficult.
When someone dies, we lose not only them, but many things attached to them. The losses can pile up quickly.
Grief is exhausting. Missing someone can be incredibly draining. Everything seems like a solo climb of Mount Everest.
