I don’t ascribe to a lot of dominant society social norms, beliefs, gender norms or expectations…
I find it offensive when advised to “get over” the loss of a loved one.
I don’t feel or ascribe to grief having a time period.
I view journaling, blogging and posting on forums the same.
I post on here and chronic illnesses Facebook groups, to process my thoughts [emoji189], frustrations, brainstorm, brain dump and to laugh.
It does not mean everyone is seeking advice or need a FIX.
It’s important to assess IF questions or feedback were ASKED.
And it’s important to leave the person alone when asked.
It does not matter if you have the best of intentions, feel you were being nice because people have the right to be left alone and NOT want your unsolicited feedback.
