Grief is Weird

... Read moreGrief is a deeply personal and often nonlinear process that varies greatly from person to person. It’s common to experience fluctuating emotions, where some days you feel strong and in control, while other days the pain feels raw and fresh. This inconsistency is a natural part of healing, highlighting that grief has no set timeline or predictable pattern. Many people turn to supportive practices such as energy healing and crystal healing to manage their grief. Energy healing focuses on balancing the body's energy fields, which can help alleviate emotional blockages and promote inner peace. Crystal healing uses specific stones believed to carry healing properties, offering comfort and grounding through difficult moments. It’s important to acknowledge that dealing with grief also requires patience with oneself and acceptance that recovery is a gradual process. Techniques like mindfulness, journaling, and connecting with supportive communities can aid in navigating grief’s challenges. Remember, healing does not mean forgetting but learning to live with the loss and gradually restoring your emotional wellbeing. Ultimately, the key to coping with grief lies in understanding its unpredictable nature and embracing the journey with compassion. With time and supportive practices, you’ll find that you can move forward while honoring your emotions and memories. The consistent message is reassuring: despite the ups and downs, you will be okay.

absolutely, truth be told🤗 Grief is like the ocean; it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim. ___Vicki Harrison, author

Grief is weird
Yeah grief is a strange thing to go through. I lost my sister and grandmother 6 months apart in 2022. My sister was murdered at the end of July making me dread summer and my grandmother the day after Christmas so yeah I hate the end of the year. Grief is not linear. Grief does not discriminate.

Grief is so strange. One minute I’m laughing, the next I feel the emptiness all over again. I’ll be in the middle of something normal—folding laundry, grabbing my coffee, driving the kids to practice—and suddenly I’m hit with the ache of missing my mom. It’s like a wave that sneaks up, reminding me

The friend you lost without a fight is still inside your nervous system. You did not stop loving them. You stopped having access to them. And nobody taught you the difference between the two — or what to do with the grief in between. Friendship loss in adulthood is one of the most under-treat
