[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had they lost a parent yet? Unless people grew up with parents that showed them how to respond appropriately to the bereaved, many people don't know what to do. They think they will bother or add to your grief by mentioning it. The only person close to me that had died in 50 years was my grandmother when I was a child. When my father passed, I finally understood what people needed and it wasn't to be left alone to grieve. I learned more when my mother died. Two years later, I am still working through my feelings now that the most influential people in my life are gone. It's easy to want to cut people out of your life that disappoint you but it just makes your world smaller. [/quote] This. When I lost a parent, the friends and acquaintances who most reliably reached out were ones who had also lost a parent.[/quote]
