Am I the only one who has endured grief and loss?
Sadly, all humans experience grief—it's a difficult reality for all of us.
Grief is best experienced in 'doses'. Be patient with yourself and others. This is a journey that can not be rushed, although it can be honoured, befriended and integrated over time.
Over time, I hope your grief softens and transforms into something that allows your natural compassion to shine even brighter, bringing comfort and kindness to yourself and to those around you. Although the journey is yours, you need not traverse this journey alone.
Reach out to trusted others around you. Ask them to listen. Tell them what you want and what you need. Find people who hear you, who see you.
And if you feel like a grief and loss support group is a meaningful fit for you right now, reach out to join (or receive more info) on the grief and loss support group starting on October 8th. (10 weeks).
Lead yourself well.
