Grief and Loss

Grieving is exhausting.

Grief is a never-ending battle of a million different feelings. Every day feels like another ride on a rollercoaster of emotions; you aren’t sure when to expect what.

Some days, you wake up, and it feels like the tears won’t stop. They start over the slightest thing; seeing a picture, song or smell.

On other days, you have a short temper. Everything sets you off, and it’s even more frustrating because you’ve never expressed such anger.

Not all days are difficult. Some days you wake up and feel good, but then you feel guilty that you aren’t sad.

It feels like you’ll never feel better.

When you’re grieving, it’s impossible to see the other side.

The hard feelings dominate your life and make it difficult to think you’ll feel better. And on the days you do feel better, it is fleeting.

There are constant reminders of your life, or you feel ashamed to have a good day because they are still gone.

Overcoming grief can seem hopeless at times.

There is hope.

The reality is that nothing is permanent. And while feelings of grief might be overwhelming and hard to navigate, they won’t last forever. But to overcome those hard feelings, you must move through them.

The best way to move through your grief is to talk about those feelings in a space where you can feel vulnerable. In that safe space, you can feel safe as you share the ugly parts of grief and how it has upended your life.

By digging through the problematic parts of your grief, you’ll get to a place where it feels more manageable. And while it takes time, there will be a time when you start to create a new sense of what normal is. You won’t be the same person you were before the loss, but you’ll find a new version of yourself that honors your grief and what you lost.

Don’t process your grief alone. I can walk with you as you process your grief and move through it.
