Greif is tough 😢

Missing you like crazy mom 💔#mom #greifawareness

Grief is a profound emotional response to loss, often accompanied by feelings of sadness, longing, and despair. It can manifest in various ways and affects everyone differently, often requiring a unique coping strategy. The process of grieving can take time and should not be rushed; it's important to allow oneself to feel and process the emotions that arise. Various support systems, such as talking with friends, joining support groups, or seeking counseling, can greatly aid in navigating through loss. Resources like online forums and community services focused on grief awareness provide valuable information and emotional support for those who are grieving. Sharing stories, like Shanna's, can also offer comfort and help individuals to realize they are not alone in their journey through grief. Understanding the stages of grief, which include denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, can be helpful. Each person’s journey through these stages is unique, and recognizing this can foster compassion for oneself and others. If you’re struggling with grief, consider reaching out for help, whether through professional services or supportive communities. You deserve support and companionship in this challenging time.

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?

When grief feels too heavy try box breathing ❤️

When emotions rise and everything feels too much, your breath becomes your anchor. When we experience grief, our breath can often become short and shallow. The chest tightens, the shoulders round, and the nervous system stays on high alert. This keeps the body in “survival mode,” making it hard
