Day 6: What NOT to say
October 6,2012
The subject is pretty self explanatory. Reading through some of the other things grieving mothers have been told just shocks me! The insensitivity, the naive words that only people who truly don't think before they speak can blurt out...it yet again reminds me how grief in our society is ignored. It is an outcast, awkward. We need to make grieving more socially acceptable, in the past you knew someone was mourning because they wore all black, but what do we have now? I know not all people are cruel, I know most comments are said in hopes of offering some form of condolence. But what do you say to a grieving mother? Especially a grieving mother of a baby? The normal "well at least they are in heaven now" or "think of all the memories you have together" can bring no comfort. So, what do you say?
