The Seeker

Reflective and questioning. You grieve by asking questions, reading and trying to understand what happened.

How it tends to feel

If you’re a Seeker, some of this may sound familiar.

  • You turn to reading, listening and learning about grief itself.
  • Big questions about life, death and what remains feel urgent.
  • Easy answers leave you feeling colder, not comforted.

What may help

Small things that tend to suit the way you grieve.

  • Books, essays and conversations that take death seriously.
  • A counselor or group that is comfortable with questions that have no tidy answer.
  • Time in nature, meditation or a spiritual practice that lets you sit with big questions.

Support that suits a Seeker

Need more support?

You may never find a complete answer, and that isn’t a failure. Asking the question is one way of keeping the person close.
