Scenario

When your grief support isn't appreciated or acknowledged

I've been bringing my neighbor meals since her son died but she never seems grateful and barely acknowledges my help, and I'm starting to feel resentful.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The expectation of gratitude can turn genuine care into a transaction that burdens both giver and receiver.
