  • You need to stop interrupting

    Your interruption is jarring. Survivors what to tell their stories without interruptions. Once told, then that maybe the opportunity to ask questions. These interviews feels much too journalistic, much too clinical. This is why I hate sharing. We are often interrupted.

How a Mother Can Live On After a Parent's Worst Nightmare (with Sara Dorsky)

A combination of faith, therapy (EMDR for trauma and guilt), and meaningful community support, including messages and gestures from friends, which helped her feel seen, heard, and less alone.
How a Mother Can Live On After a Parent's Worst Nightmare (with Sara Dorsky)
Q: Could you share some common mistakes or misconceptions people have when supporting someone who is grieving?
