At times, I feel like I can’t or don’t have the right (as I don’t have the understanding) to comment in other categories on this site as I haven’t suffered the same category of loss.
I feel like my comments are frowned upon.
Anyone else feel this way?

@Ang2 There is no league table of loss, each bereavement might be felt differently depending on the individual and their relationship to the departed.
I don’t think you need to feel that your comments are frowned upon.
How you feel and how you might choose to reflect on it, is entirely personal to you and no one should judge you on that.
People post to support groups like this because it affords them therapy and that’s exactly as it should be.
However you feel is exactly how you should feel, so please don’t be sensitive about writing about it.

@Ang2 I get what you’re saying but if you want to share something that may benefit a fellow mourner on here or just to offer support then I don’t think you should fear your words should be taken out of context or you’re somehow ill-equipped to offer words of comfort because your bereavement is different. @yrhengof is right, it’s a form of therapy coming here. We share one common denominator, grief so don’t stop posting. X

Everyone’s entitled to their opinion/views/thoughts/ideas sometimes they help others sometimes they don’t.
Don’t be afraid to say something you could really make a difference with some words, if the words aren’t right for that person it’s no loss at least you’ve tried

Hi Ang 2. Your comments will never be frowned on, especially on this site. Everyone is important, and if it helps you to express your feelings on here carry on. Sometimes it just helps to get stuff of your chest.
