My friend died a few years ago and I still keep in touch with her mom. I try to be a comfort, but I don’t feel like I’m very good at it. I almost always cry after we talk or text. I can feel her pain and there’s nothing I can do to ease it. How do people get through this?

@megan To be clear, I don’t have all the answers, nobody does. You’re a comfort just by keeping in touch, you’re present and that counts for an awful lot in this world. You’re doing a good thing.

Grief is hard, there’s no schedule. You just keep on keeping on, make sure you remember to be kind to yourself along the way.
