Grief is not a competition ♀️
Losing a loved one is never easy, and it’s important to support one another through the grieving process. But what happens when grief turns into a competition? In a recent family gathering, a woman asked her cousin for a soda, which led to a heated argument about grief.
The cousin, who had recently lost her fiance, accused the woman of wanting everyone to “fawn” over her and not caring about her loss. The woman responded by reminding her cousin that grief is not a competition and that they are all doing their best. However, the situation escalated when the cousin’s sister later messaged the woman, calling her “awful” and accusing the family of being unsupportive.
Now, the woman is turning to the internet for opinions, wondering if she was in the wrong. Join the conversation and share your thoughts on this delicate topic in the comments below.
