We all are grieving something-the loss of something or someone. Sometimes we grieve the loss of ourselves-the life we thought we had! There is no timeline for grief. We just can’t “get over it” or “make peace with it”- take your time. Grieving is healing. It’s not sulking or a weakness. Grief is a way for us to be compassionate with ourselves as we navigate a loss we didn’t think we could survive. Grief is an expression of love, even when it looks like sadness, anger or regret. Sometimes all that is needed is a safe space for us to feel all the feelings-silence is okay, as it’s an invitation to let the connection do the work that words can’t.
