I was emotionally unseated about a year and a half or so ago dealing with 5 deaths in a span of only about 7 months. The void was so tremendous, I just did not know what to say or think. I just wanted to be in quiet little corner safe to be able to say whatever surfaced. Significant individuals I would reach out to were gone. Sometimes part of the challenge when someone is grieving is not knowing what to say back when someone acknowledges your loss.
