Cheat Sheet
This cheat sheet is something I now refer to when about to talk to someone who is grieving. I didn’t get it until Michaela died and said/did many of the “don’t” column and now know how unhelpful I have been. I have heard almost all of the “don’t” column. What helps me the most is that people recognizing it won’t get better. I am building a new life around my grief, but I will always feel the grief because of my love for Michaela. People talking about her helps me too because it helps me feel like others care about her/me by keeping her memory here.
