Advice & Thoughts On Grief (From the Comments)

Teryn O'Brien's avatarIdentity Renewed

I’ve been compiling advice from the comments on my 15 Things I Wish I’d Known About Grief post that went viral last week. There was a lot of good advice, and so I’m sharing it in a condensed place here. Some things were repeated multiple times, so I tried to pick comments that summed up everyone’s advice nicely. I also edited the comments for punctuation, grammar, and clarification, but I’ve tried to keep it true to the original as much as I can. I also shared some resources that others mentioned at the end of this post.

If you feel I’ve missed something important, please comment below. And thanks again for everyone’s support. I’ve been so touched and comforted by each and every word people have shared on this blog. 

Sincerely,
Teryn
