How do you deal with grief while coming out the other side, like, better and having taken something away from it?

I have a friend going through a similar experience right now, and I find myself struggling to, to find the right things to say even though I've been through it.

It's just like a long process, and I think I don't, I don't even know that I have, like, the right advice for somebody.

Yeah, I've always found that any time I've been in, like, a difficult, emotionally challenging situation, if I can go and help someone else or, like, expose myself to other people, that is kind of like a healing process.

Yes, and I do think, like, it's, you need to do that, otherwise it's, you're never going to survive-

You know, it's actually really hard to do, so I kn- if you're going through something, like, it just takes time, but the more and more you do that, you will find a way to survive.

Do you feel like that experience has taught you to be someone who, like, is very open to pursuing the things that are, like, within you almost?
