I Want to Lay Blame Somewhere
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:
Many of those around us can't relate. Or perhaps they don't want to. We wonder if anyone cares.
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.
The human voice is powerful. Our ears are attuned to the pitch and cadence of the voices of those we love. We hear them in our hearts and our dreams.
When loss hits, we feel vulnerable. This is natural and common, but uncomfortable. Life feels shaky, even scary now.
Hey You, it’s me in Heaven
And I’m here to say Hello
I didn’t get to say goodbye
Before I had to go
I want to let you know that...
I am here, just at your side
Just look to your left shoulder
This will cannot be fixed. Those around us, however, will try. Most are well-intentioned, perhaps, but that doesn't make their words helpful.
When loss hits, life changes. This includes our relationships. So often, the people arond us don't understrand. We can feel rejected, invisible, and alone.
