In today’s episode, I’ve created a list of what I believe are the Top Ten Common Grief Myths. There are far more than ten, but I’ve chosen the most common, many with a higher impact on the grief community than others I’ve encountered or heard about from others. No matter the myths, this episode exists to help you navigate what you may encounter in the future or help you navigate what you’ve already experienced firsthand.
At the end of the episode, I provide you a Bonus: Five Things Never to Say to Someone Who’s Grieving. These typically exist in society from the need for people to say something comforting, yet they come off insensitive. Somehow these phrases continue to cycle through the support community even though I’d suggest each one of them is obviously inappropriate. I’m hopeful together we can make strides to help educate others and stop these phrases from ever being said again.
