Description
Grief often looks different than you expect. We don’t just grieve with death and tragedy. We grieve loss, change, our childhoods, unmet expectations, unfulfilled hopes and dreams for relationships. We grieve lives that didn’t turn out how we thought they would or wanted them to. We often grieve during transitions. We grieve for our past selves. “Grief is the last act of love we have to give to those we love. Where there is deep grief, there is great love.” Grief is complicated and frustrating, especially when we don’t recognize our feelings as grief. Noticing, being aware and mindful helps. Accepting and allowing, perhaps even embracing grief as part of the process of becoming the next version of you helps. Anticipating grief also helps. We think we shouldn’t grieve and that it is better to move through grief faster and get to “the other side.” But the grieving itself is the path forward. Dropping into your body’s sensations can help you move through the discomfort of grief. Our bodies will tell us what we need. Deep breaths, mindful yoga, walks, and reaching out to a friend also help. If you find ourselves spiraling and going into a zone of overwhelm getting help helps. Friends, family, mental healthcare, and coaches may all prove helpful.
