A title slide with the number '8' prominently displayed, followed by the text 'PLACES GRIEF LIVES IN YOUR BODY'. The background features subtle floral outlines, and the creator's handle '@SARAHATGENTLEGROVE' is at the bottom.
The first point, 'YOUR THROAT: WHERE ALL THE UNSAID WORDS ARE TRAPPED,' describes how grief manifests as tightness and a feeling of something stuck, emphasizing that release comes from letting sounds out.
The second point, 'YOUR CHEST: HEAVY, TIGHT, LIKE SOMETHING IS PRESSING DOWN,' explains how grief can compress the chest, making breathing difficult, and suggests release through sobbing.
The third point, 'YOUR JAW: CLENCHED FROM HOLDING BACK TEARS,' details how a tight jaw holds back unexpressed grief and tears, noting that actual crying is necessary for release.
The fourth point, 'YOUR SHOULDERS: CARRYING THE WEIGHT OF WHAT YOU COULDN'T SAVE,' describes how grief can manifest as tight, hunched, and exhausted shoulders from carrying burdens, suggesting release by letting go.
The fifth point, 'YOUR STOMACH: NAUSEA, EMPTINESS, OR A PIT THAT WON'T GO AWAY,' explains how the stomach holds unprocessed loss, causing nausea or a void, and requires feeling these sensations for release.
The sixth point, 'YOUR HIPS: STORED GRIEF FROM LOSSES YOU DON'T REMEMBER,' discusses how hips store old, unconscious grief, leading to tightness, and requires somatic work and movement for release.
The seventh point, 'YOUR LOWER BACK: THE GRIEF OF NOT BEING SUPPORTED,' describes how the lower back holds the burden of carrying everything alone, resulting in exhaustion and ache.
The eighth point, 'YOUR HANDS AND ARMS: REACHING FOR WHAT YOU CAN'T HOLD ANYMORE,' illustrates how hands and arms ache to embrace what's lost, feeling empty, and need to move to release this grief.
A concluding slide stating 'KNOWING WHERE GRIEF LIVES DOESN'T RELEASE IT - FEELING IT DOES,' emphasizing that grief releases through physical expression like crying, shaking, and screaming, with a call to action.

this is actually me 💯💔😢😞😔 when I feel like this I don't say anything and I just stay quiet and let everything eats me up inside of me and out and it hurts so much but if I say anything or open up I am the one getting hurt so so much and be in so so much pain that's why I don't say anything anymore. I just let my tears come rolling down my beautiful face and when I cry I don't scream, or yell or anything like that I just walk away and stay to myself or isolate myself from everyone else and go to my bedroom and lock my door and I won't call anybody anymore for a while or a couple of months that's how I am and get 😢😞🥲💔💔💔💔
