On comparing grief and pain

“No, no, really it’s ok. It’s still hard. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that you can’t compare suffering.”


From Naiahdot

Very, very true.


Also, of use whenever you need to listen to someone in grief or pain:

1. Mirroring
2. Remember Names
3. Be Interested
4. Allow Others to Talk
5. Intention
6. Offer Help
7. Smile
8. Authenticity
