cause you know yourself better than anyone else.
Depends on who you loved the most, the most it will impact on you. For example, immediate family, close friends, pets, and your partners in crime---they all do impact on everyone hugely than just friends or strangers.
I am experiencing this right now with the loss of a roommate, a friend, a community member, activist, and everything else. I have seen this person growing up a lot while at same time is suffered a lot of health complications and felt like it wouldn't getting any better for herself. I have learned how to handle my grief processing and I discovered that I am annoyed easily when people are overwhelming with a lot of questions and the main question is "when is the memorial service" all over again.
Firstly, you don't ask them right away especially on the first day of finding out that person passed away. BAD IDEA. You can always buckle down and learn how to be patient. You should know better about that. It's one of the best tips is to leave them to process the grief in their own time instead of asking when the memorial service. It takes some time to announce or to let you know.
Secondly, you could ask them for the support and what they want from the community, that is ALWAYS the best to do it during grief period. For me, it worked better and show me how much you show me your love toward me and others.
Here's a few quotes that i loved the most during grief processing. Remember, take your time to grief, there's no limitations nor time. You takes all of time that you need to process .Everyone move on at their pace, you move on when you are ready and at your pace.
Word Description: "Grief is not a disorder, a disease or sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity. the price you pay for love. The only cure for grief is to grieve".--Earl Grollman
Word Description: "Life is so ironic. It takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence".---Peaceful Diamond
Word Description: "You can never overcome grief. Not within a day, a week, a year, or a lifetime"--Elizabeth M.
Remember you take your time to grieve. Don't rush things out, take them throughout slow and steady. Talk to someone when you need, let someone that you know and love and see if they can do what they can to help you. It's OK to be sad, it's OK to have mixed emotions, and most importantly, it's OK to CRY! Let it out, let it come, and let it be out then you can be happy.
Until next time....
Tactile love,
Samantha
