Since losing my nana last week, I’ve been supremely touched by how my community has shown up for me and my family. Grief is a sticky, painful feeling, and knowing how to support someone going through it can be intimidating and uncomfortable. You don’t want to say the wrong thing! Or be overbearing! Or god forbid, tell a weird joke that you play over and over in your head for the next twenty years.
I created a list of ways I’ve felt cared for as I mourn. Hope it helps (and everyone is different, so please let me know what has been helpful to you!).

Beautiful. 💔
So, so lovely. Something Andrew Garfield’s said before re: grieving his own mom (that’s always stuck with me): “I hope this grief stays with me, because it’s all the unexpressed love I didn’t get to tell her.” I hope your “grief” and Nana continue to stay with you, and that you get to hold both of them close.
