If that's how the father is processing it, I think all that should be given from his friends and family is support for that. <br /><br />Good for you for communicating what you did!countingpinklineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383905256508822573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-82794038887337887172018-05-11T12:26:16.427-07:002018-05-11T12:26:16.427-07:00Oh my goodness, that poor family... and no doubt y...Oh my goodness, that poor family... and no doubt your brother-in-law is not the only one having those "time to move on" thoughts.

To be able to forgive the hurts and see that how people see grieving can cause so much harm, and that trying to understand how they feel about it and educate on the complexities of grief and resources to understand and pass on to the grieving...wow. What an incredible experience, and a great lesson to me and others on the power of empathy and giving it to those who seem to have none.

I found that when I accepted that people act the only way they know how, they were easier to understand. And it was easier to forgive. <br /><br />It sucks that you had to go through what you had to go through. But what a gift you now have to give.

I'm blown away by your ability to be present with yourself as you remembered your own grieving, and present with Lucas as you used this moment to help him see another viewpoint. What a ripple effect your own grieving process is having for those around you. And around them.Lori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.com
