And she said, I don't know how I'm going to make it.
She's crying and she's devastated.
And I talked to her and I listened and I talked about it.
And after a few minutes, after we talked, she thanked me and she said, can we talk again?
And I said, sure.
My friend turns to me and said, oh my gosh, I can't believe how she was going on and on to you.
I mean, you've been to shootings and 9-11 and your son died and here her wedding's been postponed.
And I said to my friend, you know so little about grief.
First of all, whenever you compare, we are in our mind and we don't have a broken mind.
We have a broken heart.
So first of all, let go of the comparing.
People want to know, David, which grief is the worst?
Is it a murder?
Is it a child's death?
Is it a divorce where they're alive rejecting you every day on the planet?
Is it sexual abuse that robs you of a life it feels like?
What's the worst grief?
And I always say, yours.
Yours is the worst grief.
Other people's grief don't matter.
