Although this post is not massage therapy related - I still believe it’s relevant for everyone.
None of us are ‘taught’ how to grieve or how to support others who are grieving.
Life isn’t fair.
Nothing makes sense, and yet the world keeps on spinning and people get back to their daily lives.
We are all just ‘winging it’ and try our best to keep moving.
I have experienced many grief journeys in my life - and this loss has been the most painful and life altering.
It brings up a lot of emotions daily.
I’ve gone back to work part time.
Everything is hard.
I cried at the jewelers buying our daughter a locket on what should have been their 1 year anniversary.
I’ve cried at the grocery store, the mechanic, and in front of strangers.
Although it’s terrifying for me to share and be vulnerable, my hope is that it will open up the conversation on how to best support ourselves and each other as we grieve.
We’ve been going through a lot, and trying a variety of supportive options.
Who here has lost someone and then felt lost themselves?
What did you do?
What did you find helpful?
