Eric Meyer's posts about his daughter's illness, and the family's lifelong process of grieving afterward, are heartbreaking. It's arresting, gripping writing. It's wonderful and awful. Hug your loved ones tight. https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/category/personal/rebecca...

Who are you to tell someone else how to process his grief?

Is he self-destructing? That's a short blog post 10 years after it happened. The latest before that in Rebecca category is 3 years before that. And then he just seems to do those blog posts during birthdays.

He's doing therapy etc, what else can he be doing? Writing blog posts is also processing.

There's a time to use critical analysis, and there's a time to keep quiet and show some respect.

There is no evidence this person is self destructing. You've read that in. This isn't coming from Meyer. It's coming from you.

You regularly jump into threads to criticize how other people deal with their mental health challenges.

I would appreciate if you would stop. It's inappropriate. You've been asked to stop by users and by dang multiple times.

Maybe when you feel challenged by the way other people approach mental health, you should treat it as an invitation to practice rather than an invitation to criticize.

You must be thinking of someone else

I'm recalling you, specifically. Because I've seen this happen multiple times, you've left an impression.

I hope you have a good day and that you weigh your words with care.

Why are you making a new throwaway for each post?

But I've never done it before
