Transcript

What do you think most misinterpret about grief? One thing is like, oh if I see something, I'm gonna remind her. Or if I say, and then I make her sad? When you're a grieving person, about it all all the time. I think if somebody says like, hey, I heard what happened, about you. It doesn't, it just makes you feel seen and connected when, like, really hard connected. Like, my mom said this amazing thing growing up. In doubt, describe. Or even if you don't know the perfect, perfect thing to say. Like you can just describe going on. Like, I heard that so and so died. It's really sad. I've been thinking so much. I wish I knew the perfect thing to say, but I don't, but I want you to know I love you. And that sound so cozy and nice?
