I realize I just started this page but my body and mind are telling me it’s time for a major break from social media and screen time, and we must listen to our bodies and minds right?

I might just check messages on here maybe once a week, otherwise please email me (my email is on my website). When I return I will have more content to share about grief and the grieving process, and I’ll even introduce myself too! 😅 Much love and healing to you all in the meantime 💜

Another aspect that’s necessary to understanding grief is understanding what causes it: loss

Here are some examples of different losses one might experience. Notice how many and how different they all are!

It’s so important not to judge your grief reaction based on your loss. Some people get caught up in ‘why am I feeling this way over this’ or comparing to others ‘they went through this much harder loss and made it through, why am I struggling so much with this lesser loss?’

Loss and grief are SO individual and SO unique. You can’t compare your losses OR your grief to others because we are all different people! We bring different values, experiences, histories, feelings, thoughts, EVERYTHING to the table. There is no such thing as a lesser or greater loss because each loss has a different meaning to each one of us.

Recognizing and acknowledging the loss is an important step 💜

In order to start to understand grief it’s helpful to know.. what actually is it?!

Grief is a natural and normal reaction to any kind of loss.

So why in our American society do we act like grief isn’t natural? Like it’s something to hide? Why do we avoid people who are grieving? Why do we not know what to say to a grieving person? Why is it such an uncomfortable subject? Why do we try to shut it away and shove it down? Why do we sometimes feel ashamed of our grief and are unable to express it?

We are going to explore all of these topics here.

My point is though, grief is NATURAL and NORMAL to feel when experiencing a loss of any kind or magnitude!

And guess what? We ALL experience loss, and we all will go through many different losses in our lifetime.

Our culture is so unhelpful surrounding grief that it is causing greater suffering because we don’t know how to handle grief and we don’t know how to be there for someone who is grieving.

I can’t wait to dive into these further with you. Let’s normalize and validate the grief experience 💜
