Supporting a Loved One after Loss Means Sitting with Them in their Grief, Not Only their Joy

Posted on October 4, 2022August 19, 2023 by Aleyah Conner

I want you in my joy.

But I needed you in my grief.

I want you at my rainbow baby’s shower.
At his first birthday.
On FaceTime coffee dates on a random Sunday as he babbles his new “words.”
I want you to know his favorite character. What foods he loves and what foods he throws across the kitchen. I want him to hear your voice and come running with familiarity.
