Joel Johnson+FollowWhen grief and boundaries collide at homeLosing a child is a pain that never really leaves, and for one mom, that heartbreak was compounded when her sister asked to use her late baby’s nursery just a month after her loss. She wanted to support her sister, who was also going through a tough time, but couldn’t bear the thought of someone else’s baby in the crib she’d lovingly prepared. The fallout left both sisters hurting. It’s a powerful reminder that grief looks different for everyone, and sometimes setting boundaries is an act of self-preservation, not rejection.
