A Girlfriend's Guide to Grief: WHY

Why… it’s a mean little question.  When someone is hurting… when someone is upset... when someone is grieving... 
Why is never the question to ask.

Why is it taking her so long…
Why is she so upset about this…
Why can’t she get over it…
I don't understand why this is such a big deal...

Why …

Why never helps. It never comforts. It never says, I love you and I’m here for you.

If I could give a girlfriend advice on how to help someone they love when they're hurting, one of things I would say--> Don't question why, to them or to yourself. Just love them. We aren't all the same, we aren't going to grieve the same.
