Are you grieving?

Loss is painful. You can literally feel it.

There is an emptiness in your heart and unfamiliar pains in your body. Nothing is the same anymore. You are frozen in time, but the world keeps turning.

The first days, weeks, and months are the hardest. You are foggy, forgetful, tired, in pain (sometimes even physically), and in every way  overwhelmed. It is important to know this is natural. You are not doing anything wrong. There is nothing “wrong” with you. You are experiencing grief in all its forms. 

Grief will make many demands of you as you attempt to continue on and get back to “normal.” It will not sit quietly for very long, if at all. Grief demands to be acknowledged, and it deserves to be. After all, it is only here because of the deep love and attachment you have for what has been taken from you. Grief is here to help you heal.
