[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do NOT talk about it to anyone else, not even under the guise of needing support for how to help her. No one. [/quote]

Thank you. I certainly won’t share with anyone as my friend isn’t a huge sharer anyway so I know how important it is to keep this to myself.

She tends to withdraw and deal with things alone, so I am hesitant on what to do and when. This thread has been helpful! [/quote]

NP.  As someone who also withdraws when grieving and yet still doesn't want to feel alone, DO check in with her regularly, but DON'T ask &quot;how are you?&quot;  I hated being asked that every day, because the answer was always &quot;awful&quot; but I didn't feel like I was allowed to say that day after day.  The pressure to be positive or not burden others is so engrained!  Just say &quot;I'm thinking about you&quot; or &quot;I'm here if you want to talk&quot; and then give her grace if she doesn't always respond.  ( You sound like a good friend. &lt;3 )[/quote]

OP here. I like this…thank you. [/quote]
