4 Wednesday, April 9, 1997 Page edited by Sherrii Richardson What makes you think you· know hOw ·1 feel?.

The guest column today discusses an issue that peo­ ple face everyday. Grief. Often times, people have problems that they feel are overwhelming, and seek others to help them cope. One of the first things that is said to them is "I know how you feel." .. What makes people think that they know how others feel when they are going through stressful times? Is it that they've had the same experiences? Or, is that just something to say to continue conversation? Unless someone has gone through the exact same ~" situation, it is impossible to know how another feels.
