Grief

Grief doesn’t always look like we expect. It’s not just about losing someone. It can come when life changes in a way we didn’t choose. When something important ends.

Grief can be quiet or loud. It can make us feel numb, or overwhelmed, or both at once. Sometimes it feels like time has stopped. Like everything has moved on—but we haven’t.

You might not have words for it. Or maybe you’ve said the same thing a hundred times, and still nothing feels any better. Maybe you’re tired of trying to explain. Maybe you're tired, full stop. Many people who are grieving also find themselves more emotionally sensitive to their surroundings and other people’s feelings. If this sounds like you, you might relate to this article for deeply feeling, sensitive people, which offers gentle insight and support.

There’s no right way to grieve. No timeline. No clear path. It just takes the time it takes. Some days you might feel okay. Other days, it’s hard to get out of bed. That doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

There’s nothing weak or shameful about being in pain. You don’t have to pretend you’re fine. You don’t have to rush. Grief doesn’t ask for solutions. It asks to be seen and felt. And sometimes, that changes everything. You’re not alone in this. And I’m here to help, in any way I can.
