Grief is something we all deal with differently some people can bounce back from it fast and some people take more time. I took a long time to bounce back from grief, about a year to be precise, my cousin lost her battle with cancer in August 2022 and I miss her so much.
I have no sisters, and I always considered her as the closest person I had to a sister, she taught me so many things, she was compassionate, thoughtful, and lively.
I'm sharing this with you because if you're struggling with grief, take your time, don't rush the healing. Don't compare your process of dealing with grief with other people's process, it's okay if it takes longer time and more energy than you expected.
I still struggle with doing my normal routine, I still go through random crying attacks and I'm accepting my process.
Just don't let grief control you! Do your best to prioritize your well-being and your self-care (whatever it might be for you). The process of dealing with grief isn't linear, it has its ups and downs, Be patient and kind to yourself.
Grief is a natural response to loss, it can take many forms, from a deep sadness to a feeling of numbness. It can affect every aspect of a person’s life.
The process of healing from grief begins with acknowledging the pain and emotions that come with it. Is it sadness, numbness, loneliness, or fear? Maybe all of them combined!
Give yourself permission to feel the emotions and not try to push them away.
Acknowledging the pain and sadness can help to process the grief, it's a very personal experience and no two people will ever experience the same emotions or healing process.
