When people say to me "I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child...", I often think of the message below.

Being present for friends in grief is the most meaningful gift that you can give to them.

You will not always have the right words to say and you will make some mistakes, we all do.

Remember, you do not have to be perfect, just present.

I'd like to share some thoughts on hope. Hope keeps us resilient in the face of challenges; hope gives us stamina when we feel overwhelmed; hope acts a support when our foundations are shaky. How else can hope help? https://t.co/Rsl5ueBSNh

This is very true. Be kind to yourself. You will grieve and begin to heal at your own pace.

[HealGrief.org @HealGrief]

Remember, grief is a process, not an event. Be patient and tolerant with yourself and avoid people who are impatient and intolerant with you.

Be kind to yourself during this time of healing.

There will be moments of sadness and other feelings that may come up when you’re grieving.

You may feel like a piece of you is missing.
