[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter died last year. I think the article has a lot of helpful points. I also think a lot has to do with how well you know the family. Something that I read which struck a chord with me was "there is a big difference between sympathy and empathy." Sympathy is basically "I'm glad I'm not you" and empathy is "I'll sit with you in the dark". I'm thankful for those in my circle who offer us the later. Also, I'm often refraining from bringing my child into the conversation as I know it makes others uncomfortable. Don't take that as a sign as I've gotten over it or have moved on. I'm carrying on as best I can but I miss her and think of her a hundred times a day. This poem I think really captures the reality of the grief of child loss https://pin.it/3C2fxDoo5 [/quote] :( ❤️[/quote]
