Sometimes people don't share with the griever because they're afraid of making them sad. But I think it's okay to bring it up with them, so they know you're okay talking about it. Thanks for your comments!

I conjecture that, as supportive as my friends are, they must be thinking that it's time for me to "move on." They may not think any such thing and it may be more in my own head but I do feel self-conscious about my grief and as a consequence I share less since I'm thinking they must be bored with it by now. Again, it's probably more in my head than a reality but nevertheless, it impacts my interactions. DavidDavid G. Hallmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824654562246580157noreply@blogger.com
