Best selections from Grief Healing's X feed this week: When someone you love loses a person they love, it can be hard to know what to say.

For many years (too many!!), Ive been working to grow a thicker skin. Meaning, Im trying to not take words or actions personally. Im developing a healthier perspective about my work in the world. With a healthier perspective, Im courageous about putting my work out into the world because it doesnt matter when others say something unkind or awful. If I worry too much about what others will say, Ill take much too long to put my work out there.
