You can't rush someone else's personal process. A string of abstract words existing apart from the emotional experience will splash against it meaninglessly. When loss occurs, it can only be suffered through. Words of appeasement honestly piss me the fuck off if I'm grieving. I don't want to hear, "She's in a better place now," or "At least he doesn't feel anymore pain," or "Just get on with your life." A listening ear is all I really ask for, all the responses a non-griever comes up with are empty as a fart. You can't simply talk someone out of an addiction, you might give them the words to motivate them to change their habit but changing habits takes time, it's not instant. Likewise, grief takes time. |
