Don’t give a shot to fix her.
First of all, that’s not your responsibility.
And secondly, she’s not a thing to fix.

Ask questions, but dont pry.Let her come to you when shes ready.
Be open, but not demanding.
If shes not ready to talk about it, dont pressure her.
Shes looking for a partner, not a father figure.

Grief does not mean someone is broken.
NEVER compare.Im not saying your dog dying wasnt devastating.
Loss of any kind can leave a permanent scar.
But yo be aware that comparing deaths or tragedies is, in general, a terrible idea.
Even if youre trying to make her feel better or like you somehow relate, just dont.
Every trauma is a singular experience.
You accomplish nothing by trying to compare them.
Listen.Sometimes thats all she wants.
Give her space if she needs it.We all grieve and process in different ways.
Her wanting some time alone doesnt mean she doesnt love you or appreciate you.
It just means she might want time to deal with stuff by herself.
Tell her shes someone others admire and list some of her best qualities.
Tell her shes amazing, and mean it.
Celebrate the good.Have fun together.
Just enjoy being in each others company.
Go out on dates and be goofy together.
Laugh way too loud out in public and watch people glare at you.
Not every moment is going to be dripping in sadness.
