Scenario

When family members struggle to support a grieving relative

Our whole family keeps telling my sister she needs to 'move on' and 'think positive' six months after her husband died, and she's started avoiding family gatherings entirely. We're losing her when she needs us most because we don't know how to be with her pain.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family's discomfort with sustained grief is driving away the person who most needs their presence.
