Know someone on a journey with grief? Do you assume that things are ok because you don't see them crying, or looking sad?

That person doesn't need to be crying all the time to be having a rough time.

I know from the outside I can look to be ok. I get up and go through my daily tasks, I post fun things on Instagram, I make plans, but, I also get stopped in my tracks over my grief. I often feel like it's day one of this journey all over again. Grief bursts are what you call them, and I still may not cry with those bursts, but I'm completely consumed by the grief. Right from the inside out.

So, don't assume that a person is ok. Even if you ask, and that day they are ok. The next day they may not be. And, honestly, this goes for any journey that's hard, not just grief. Check in on your people, and be kind to one another.
