One of the hardest things throughout my grief journey is having to hold back. I’ve had to hold my tongue and go over my thoughts ten fold before expressing them. If you know me well, this is literally the bane of my existence. Because I didn’t lose a daughter, a sibling, a wife, a mother, etc., I felt as though my opinion didn’t matter. I married into this situation so therefore my only place was to stay silent. Silly me. Holding back and stuffing your emotions is the most unhealthy approach ever. I think what I forgot to understand is that this is my family; I am Spencer’s wife; and my opinion MATTERS. So take it from me, don’t hold back. Find the right words, the right time, and your delivery will be impactful. No one’s grief is less than. Remember that.
