Circle of Trust: How We Help Each Other Through Grief
Grief moves through our lives in many ways. People often talk about five stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The truth is that grief is not linear and no two men move through it the same way.
First, we show up with presence. Not solutions. Not advice. Just presence. When someone is hurting, the most powerful thing you can offer is your steady company while they carry the weight of their loss.
Second, keep in mind that grief comes in waves. Some waves look like anger, some look like sadness, some look like confusion, and some look like quiet acceptance. All of it is normal. All of it is human.
Third, we listen. Really listen. Let the person talk about who they lost, what that relationship meant, and the fear of moving forward without them. When a man speaks his grief out loud, it becomes easier to bear.
Lastly, we validate. We remind each other that every feeling in grief is allowed. Nothing is too heavy for this circle. Nothing needs to be hidden.
Grief can feel like a rogue wave that rises without warning. One moment you think you are steady, the next you are underwater. But none of us have to ride those waves alone. When we hold each other up, we help each other sail through the storm and toward calmer water.
