Everyone experiences grief differently, and it's not uncommon to feel that your grieving process is not fully understood by others.

To prepare for today's personal journal entry, think of the aspects of your grief that have felt more difficult to express to others.

07/11/2023

A common misconception is that grief has a timeline and that one must experience each stage of grief to feel complete. However, this is not the case. It is important to note that everyone experiences grief differently and at their own pace. The following article contains a short video discussing how grieving is not a race, and that there is no finish line.

When we grieve, we can’t control the process. We can’t control how long it takes or how many times it starts over.

Many people find comfort in grieving in community. It's common to look to others for support, care, and understanding as you process loss.

For today's personal journal entry, consider those who have surrounded you throughout your grieving journey and write about those relationships.
