Navigating grief
My best friend lost her mom recently, and she was pretty young and a non expected death.
Being around a lot of people, I know of the process/ thoughts/ feelings she might or will go through, I’m not saying I relate but I have an idea.
That said, I don’t want to be a pest or I don’t want to suffocate her with my “support”. I know she needs to go through all the feelings without judgement, I’m just worried or afraid that she won’t reach out when she needs actual help, therefore I’m hovering out of protectiveness.
Specially her and her siblings haven’t had any major life milestones yet, so all of those will be experienced without their mom there.
And I’m particularly worried about her getting pregnant and having a child without her mom being there to help and guide her.
I want to be there I just don’t know how, and constantly texting her “supportive” texts feel annoying and off-putting.
P.S. she doesn’t live where her family and I live, so I’m already planning to go visit her when she starts understanding what’s happening, and grasp the idea that she lost her mom.
