Whenever friends ask you out to dinner or other events, are you uncertain about accepting the invitation? Uncertain because due to grief, you’re not sure how you’ll be feeling when the time comes to actually get together?Here are some suggestions for handling this common dilemma for anyone who is bereaved:
* After thanking your friends for their interest, remind them that because of your loss, every day has it’s ups and downs.
* Ask your friends if it’s okay to notify them a day or so ahead of the occasion, so you don’t feel pressured and have a better idea of what you’re up for.
Keep in mind that most people are very understanding.
We’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about these situations.
