Be Sad; Keep Going

Be Sad; Keep Going Helping you persevere through grief, loss, depression & more because you get to be sad but you HAVE to keep going

“Be Sad; Keep Going” is a powerful message that encourages us to embrace our emotions, even the difficult ones, and acknowledge that they are a natural part of the human experience. While it’s important to allow ourselves the space to feel sadness, it’s equally important to remember that tough times won’t last forever. By moving forward when we’re ready, we can find the strength to overcome challenges and grow stronger in the process.

One thing ima do is keep posting about even if nobody sees it, hears about it or shares it. Whoopty doo! Imma post again.

Grief and gratitude can coexist but not without tension. You don’t have to choose between missing someone and appreciating what remains. Love and longing often walk hand in hand, especially during the holidays. However you show up, with tears, laughter, silence, or stories, is valid. There’s no wrong way to show up.

You might not want to hear this but you can’t drink or smoke the grief away. In fact, you might be making everything worse. But that’s just my opinion. I’m not a doctor 🤷🏾‍♀️

I DO know that making the conscious decision to not jump off the deep end with drug and alcohol usage is part of the reason I was able to survive my moms decision to end her life.

I think that if I continually tried to run from it, it would likely feel just as heavy today as it did the day it happened.

Now this isn’t to say I’m “healed” from losing my mom but staying clean for those first few years really put me on the right track.

Losing my mom forced me to choose myself. I had to set boundaries, stop people-pleasing, and be okay with being ‘cold’ to some people. Maybe I was too hard, maybe I wasn’t — but grief doesn’t follow rules. I made peace with the way I protected myself, and I’ll never regret that 🤷🏾‍♀️

Today is the 8th anniversary of losing my mom to su***de and instead of sitting around and sulking all day, me and my dad choose to indulge in her favorite things and celebrate her life on this day every year.

Now that’s not to say that sad feelings don’t or won’t come up, but we make an effort to shift the energy of the day she passed and the day she was born each year by enjoying the foods she loved while earthside.

Here’s your reminder that you can choose (in some ways) the energy that you bring to your loved ones anniversary dates. When it happened, it may have very well been THE worst day of your life, but you don’t HAVE to bring that energy to each day, every year moving forward. You CAN honor their existence, appreciate the love they gave you and celebrate the life they lived, guilt free.

Dance has always been a place where I can express myself and sometimes even fully let go of what I’m going through. In the last decade, it’s specifically been something that has helped me cope with major depressive disorder and anxiety and everything that comes with losing your own mom.

Janell probably still has no idea what her class did for me that day but I’m SO grateful she came to Milwaukee to share her talents back in 2017 because it really gave some place for my grief to go.

I don’t know that I would
have survived losing my
mom if I didn’t make the decision to let people help me.

Now it wasn’t all peaches and cream. I was still EXTREMELY angry, resentful and so much more so I didnt let everybody in but I did allow for some people to see me at my worst in order to help me get back to my best.

I’m so grateful to have been able to present on this and more at the Milwaukee County Better Ways to Cope Conference this past month. I had a chance to talk to local wellness professionals about the non-traditional coping mechanisms that helped me and offer insight into things that could help their clients. It was also a great reminder to make sure they’re checking in with themselves as wellness professionals are always taking care of others.
