Radio host Delilah taking a leave from her show following son's suicide

Bear with me, I know it sounds unimportant; however, it is important to acknowledge what is going on here. I think it's appropriate to start with this quote from the article, "'My heart is broken beyond repair and I can not fathom how to go on... but I have to believe he is at peace with the Lord and that God will get us through,' the statement continued. 'I will be absent from the radio and on social media for a time as I grieve and try to process this loss with my family.'" It is always important to acknowledge the process that is grieving. It takes years for some, and days for others. I think, especially in our current situation, it is important to let others take time to grieve and I hope in Delilah's case that people understand that a break from recording new episodes is completely appropriate and necessary. It pains me to see people telling other people how to grieve, or making death about themselves. I think this article is relevant now more than ever, showing that we have to take time to let people grieve and be sad, it's just necessary.
