It’s not a news flash, because I’ve said this a million times, but grief changes you. Change can be hard, especially when the people surrounding you aren’t expecting or looking for change. This creates some tough scenarios. As if grieving wasn’t hard enough. There is constant justification of your changes to the people around you. Push back from these people, even if they don’t realize they’re pushing back on your change and growth. People get used to things, and when you’re no longer allowing or accepting those things, or now have different life perspectives, they don’t understand. I think they probably believe it’s them that’s the issue? That’s where the justification of your change comes in. A lot and often. Not sure I have much advice or profound words on this part of the journey, except maybe patience? Patience on both ends. The people around you need to be patient about your journey, and you need to offer some patience towards them. They didn’t see or experience the same trauma's you did, therefore their change will be slower paced.
