We all have this romantic idea that when we most need support, our friends will lean in.
And sometimes they do. But very often, they don't.
It's pretty common for people experiencing grief and loss to find themselves alone, forgotten, or misunderstood when they need community most.
Even intimate partnerships get impacted. It's more common for a marriage to end after a major loss or the death of a child, for example.
So how should we take it when our support system seems to be distancing from us? How can we process the hurt without writing everyone off?
As someone diagnosed with a chronic illness last year (a grief event that's hard for others to comprehend), I don't have all the answers. But I think I've got some useful thoughts.
In this podcast, I'll share six tips on navigating relationships with people who just don't get your struggle.
