Grief makes life difficult. I’m three years out from my son’s death and 14 years from his life changing accident, and it has changed me. Our society doesn’t hold space for grievers. Grief makes others feel uncomfortable. It seems they want you to hurry up and be done with it already. So, we pretend.
