I'm Having Trouble Writing My Story Due To My Lack Of Experience In The Area Of Grief? |
...In the courtyard of grief.
In the story I'm writing, many of the characters have lost loved ones (due to a war prevailing on). As I'm rereading, I feel like I'm straying from what people would actually feel when desolation someone they love. Can anyone give me some tips, or even a personal story that I can reference to? If I have people read it, I don't crave to offend anyone who has experience in the grief/death area by not portraying it that way that it actually feels. ^^;
Thanks in beyond!
