What do you do to comfort a grieving person ? Do you feel they should
get over their loss in a certain amount of time ? Have you ever lost your
patience with someone who daily grieves, only to find it has been 10 years ?
Do you feel you have ever made mistakes when trying to comfort the grieving ?

I am going to answer my own questions. I have a friend whose husband died after
getting news he had 3 mos. to live. Then couple years later her son took his life.
During this period she lost a great-grandson. Never off life support after birth, for
2 mos. This is grief at its greatest as far as anyone I have ever known. It helped
to know her. We grew up together and stayed friends up until this day. All I could
do is listen to her, and pray for her. It was horrendous to go through this much for
one person.
I never thought of how she should get over it in certain amount of time because I
know there are those who grieve differently. So, it is okay if she wants to talk about
it.
I did have a situation on Facebook with a woman I met on Grief group. She was daily
mourning her daughter who took her life. My heart went out to her. I realized a couple
weeks later, she had been gone for like 8 years or more. I knew I could not help this
woman if she grieved daily for 8 years. There simply was nothing I could say or do to
help her through it.
My mistakes I have made ? I dislike myself because I have bad habit of sharing my
own loss and feelings when another is speaking of theirs. I am trying to learn to keep
quiet. Forgive me if I do it to you. Just remind me... It is not about me.... okay ?
God bless all and know there is nothing too difficult for Him to do ... No prayer He won't
hear and answer. What He did for me, He will do for you. Amen.
