Lol nobody asked me, how are you? Most everybody just decided that not talking to be was the best option. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know nobody understands, but we do. Hugs.

I found it more exhausting trying to cover everything up... so as people ask I have just tried being honest. Something I found amazing is how many times I've heard, "Me, too." The stories people have shared with me have all been incredible. Lesson learned. If not sharing is what you need to do then do it... but maybe you're greatest vulnerability can also be your greatest source of strength. Hope this helps.

i was in tears thw entire week before i started to feel better, i basically asked those who knew (cause it happened early) to not mention it that much.

I usually get a bit snippy and blurt our things like “how would you be” 😬

I actually hate the pity, so I don’t mind telling people I’m good
