Grief Quotes
In hard times, people don’t want to be
told to look on the bright side. They want
to know you’re on their side. Even if you
can’t help them feel better, you can
always help them feel seen. The best way
to support others is not to cheer them up.
It’s to show up.
– Adam Grant
💚 When people are down, they don’t want to hear “cheer up.” Pushing them to be positive invalidates their emotions. They don’t want to be told how to feel. They want to know you care about how they feel. The goal isn’t always to feel better. Sometimes it’s just to be understood.
