something that i wanted to say but was too long to put in the video, is that grief sends your brain into self-comfort mode 24/7 at least for me, about 2-3 weeks after i lost my dad, it was like my body went on autopilot & starting trying every self-care remedy my brain could think of. i star

Grieving the loss of someone who’s still alive
Losing someone important to you due to their own choices can be one of the most difficult experiences any human could endure. The sheer part of letting go is the hardest. Why would you let go of someone that’s still there? Doesn’t that show YOU’VE given up? Or maybe you agree to the choice as well?

Quotes for when you are grieving a loved one
Sometimes I feel like I’m not good at expressing myself or I’m not good with my words, so it’s nice to see a quote you resonate with and you realize you aren’t alone in the way you are feeling. 🤍 #grieving #grievingtogether #griefpoetry #grievingjourney #grief #grieve #painfulquotes #

You’re not crazy. You’re grieving.
This grief does not mean you are weak. When you lose a partner, spouse, or soulmate, your entire nervous system shifts. The tight chest. The brain fog. The waves of panic. The exhaustion. That is not weakness. That is a body trying to recalibrate after love has been torn from its daily rhythm

You think you’re ANGRY. But you’re grieving 🤔
Underneath anger… there’s always grief. And no one ever taught you how to tell the difference. You weren’t “too emotional.” You were grieving. And no one noticed. They said you had “anger issues.” But no one ever asked what your rage was protecting. No one ever saw the child in the fire.
