💚 WELLNESS IS MORE THAN PHYSICAL 💚
It has been more than two weeks since I’ve posted on NU Life Wellness.
The truth is, I needed time.
My family and I recently experienced the devastating loss of my nephew and God-child.🕊️
I have known grief before. I lost my mother during my senior year of high school, and I have experienced other painful losses throughout my life.
But this one has hit differently.
This has been, by far, one of the hardest things I have ever had to face.
But God. 🙏🏽
As the owner of NU Life Wellness, I spend so much time talking about helping people Feel Better Now—taking care of our bodies, managing pain, recovering, moving better and living healthier lives.
But today, I want to shine a light on something equally important:
Our mental wellness.
Sometimes, the pain we cannot see is the pain that hurts the most.
Someone can smile.
Someone can laugh.
Someone can show up.
Someone can look strong.
And still be hurting deeply inside.
So today, I’m asking you to check on your people.
Check on the strong friend.
Check on your children.
Check on your family.
Check on the person who always says, “I’m good.”
And when you ask, “Are you okay?”—take the time to really listen to the answer.
If you are struggling, please reach out. You do not have to carry everything by yourself.
☎️ Call or text 988 — the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
Trained crisis counselors are available 24/7. Support is free and confidential.
Today, Feel Better Now means something deeper to me.
It means caring for the whole person—body, mind and spirit.
🤍 In loving memory of Gabe.
May his life remind us to love harder, listen longer, check in more often, and never assume someone is okay simply because they look okay.
Rest peacefully. Give Mommy & Freida kisses for me.
You are loved. You are missed. You will never be forgotten. 🤍🕊️
