A Gentle Reminder...

Grief takes time, and that's okay. Take time to care for yourself through it as you would care for other people going through the same situation.

Focus on allowing yourself to rest, feeding your body, and getting outside for fresh air and movement. Healing takes time. Be patient with yourself.

Anxiety is a form of fear. Of course, we feel afraid when someone important to us dies. How will we survive without them? What will our lives be like? What if something happens to others we care about?"
