tis' the season huh?

😢

So sorry to hear that.

I know it's heartwrenching to watch our loved ones hurting...and we want so bad to say something to comfort them or bring about some hope or peace...however, as Sags, sensitivity is not natural for us. It's difficult sometimes for us to find the right words since we rarely put that much thought into the things that come out of our mouths.



One of my closest friend's father passed away suddenly a few weeks ago and I found myself wishing I could find the right words to help ease the pain...

Just being there to listen when he wants to talk about his friend will mean more to him than anything else...
I think people get a little weird around those who have recently lost a loved one....like they're scared to mention that person as not to bring up a "sensitive subject," but from experience, they want to talk about them!

in true sag fashion, your right Bri im not good when it comes to other people's pain or even my own. im sad but my emotional response is to put the fun in funeral. so me and my sag sisters just started joking about the good times.


as a scorp moon, my dad does not have many friends; like he can count them on one hand. so when he makes friends, he intends to have them for life. when wronged, its like that person never existed....and no body better not bring that person up. at least he got to see his friend before he passed away. its just sad u know. hes not an emotional guy either (moon sq saturn) so he'll probably just withdraw and keep to himself.

its like we cant even call him you know. hed rather not be reminded of the pain.

I'm sorry, DMV. 😢

Spend some time with Dad. Take him out, just the two of you. It'll mean a lot to him.

thanks guys. i know with lunar scorps, you have to let them come to you and just be ready for them to talk.

i spoke to him today and he is still in shock.

we live at opposite ends of the country, so i wont see him till the holidays.
