Unfortunately, grief and loss are something that we all move through at different times in our lives. The feeling of grief isn’t solely reserved for physical death, it can be a spiritual loss, an emotional loss, or even a change in circumstance can bring on a loss too.
It may sound cliched but time is a great healer and this journey will take time and patience with oneself as you process all those emotions. Have courage, have patience, and remember to take a deep breath.
The journey of grief is complex and will take time and there are no short cuts. But, that doesn’t mean that support isn’t available, whether its talking to someone, practicing self-care and patience, or sitting in quiet meditation.
