Have you ever noticed that often a certain type of loss doesn’t seem as bad until it happens to you?
The worst grief and loss is your own that you are experiencing at this time.
This is an important concept in grief. Individuals facing loss and grief are subject to hearing a lot of unsolicited, and often unhelpful, advice and stories about others who have gone through similar or worse situations.
We should be mindful of the fact that, to the grieving individuals, their current loss is the worst loss and we should always use appropriate, supportive words and attitudes when we talk to them.
