Manage episode 490346605 series 3557131
We’re delving into the emotional impact of invalidating and insensitive comments we often receive during grief. Think: “at least they had a long life”, “just be grateful for what you have”, “at least they’re in a better place”… the list goes on.
Let’s talk about why people make remarks like this, and effective ways to cope and set boundaries.
This episode is here to offer you practical strategies like a mental filter practice, polite yet straightforward responses, and mindset shifts to approach it with compassion. It's all about emphasizing the importance of acknowledging one's grief, protecting our personal energy, and navigating grief without comparing experiences.
