How has grief changed you?

I think I was nicer before I lost my parent last year. Just willing to be the one to show up for folks and be supportive or kind. After they passed I realized that I was literally wasting my energy on people who didn’t appreciate it. I’ve stepped back from multiple relationships and have invested more time in people who are on the same wavelength. And of course, in my own healing. I don’t think of it as making my world smaller, it’s making it more meaningful.

Would love to hear other people’s stories!
