There is a Japanese art form called Kintsukuroi ("to repair with gold") in which a broken pottery is repaired in a way that the cracks are put together and highlighted in gold.
I agree with you in giving grieving people time and space to grieve or mourn the loss of love. If you don’t know what to say, say nothing and just be there for them in solitude. Don’t tell them to stop crying.
I remember when my sister was dying, one hanti like that told her to stop thinking of her only child and give up and die. 😱😱😱. She was ‘consoling’ my sister on her impending death. Shortly after my sister died, this hanti’s husband died from complications of diabetes. In his 70s. This woman who had been telling my sister to embrace death actually went mad from grief! She had to be sectioned. She literally fell apart when her husband died.
Your scars redefine your beauty
Thanks.

Well spoken Nat, we often times find ourselves 'presenting our matters' vs speaking about them. Let's break, be broken and be living! Kisses!
The potter always has a plan 😊. If we give him the fragments of our broken hearts!👌
