Grief isn’t just about losing a loved one or a pet. We can grieve many things in our life. Grief is about the loss of something. It could be the loss of a friendship, it could be a divorce, it could be a friendship break up, it could be losing a job, it could be moving, etc. The feelings and stages of grief can enter into any and all of these situations and is quite common.
Here’s 5 steps to find grief relief:
1. Acknowledge your feelings – give yourself permission to feel whatever emotions arise without judgment or rushing.
2. Engage in physical activity – studies show even regular movement or light exercise can improve sleep and help ground overwhelming feelings.
3. Express yourself creatively – writing, painting, dancing or crafting offer a safe therapeutic outlet to process emotions that feel too big for words.
4. Honor what you lost – create a memory box of meaningful objects. It’s not about staying stuck, but about acknowledging that what you lost mattered.
5. Work with a therapist – a therapist can help you develop personalized coping strategies and work through complicated emotions.
