Grief and religous family members
#5
RE: Grief and religous family members
Let people pray if it makes them feel better. You don't have to do it. You can instead actually get to work on your grief. I lost a great-grandmother and a grandfather last year. I actually saw my grandfather struggling in his final days. That can tear you up. Luckily, my immediate family is not religious. They haven't said stupid shit to me like, "So-and-so is with God now." I will say that when a person dies, they are finally at peace after a lifetime of struggle. That's a comforting thought, I guess. Be sure to act nice to your religious friends and family even when they say stupid shit, because it's just their stupid way of dealing with shit.
