Old Grief in the Now Time
š³āØ We hear a lot about the 7 stages of griefā¦that unfold in no particular orderā¦but donāt hear as often about old grief that is re-triggered, or unthawed after being frozen, due to other significant events. You never know when it might spring up. Birthdays, holidays, Motherās Day, Fatherās Day, births, deaths, marriages, a certain smell, a piece of music, coming up to the age your parent was when they passed for those who have lost a parent: anything can trigger a memory and anything can trigger an intense aspect of grief unexpectedly.
š³āØThe cloak of grief can feel like a cozy blanket that wraps you in its embrace, and it can feel like a heavy blanket you want to throw off. Thereās no right or wrong way to feel. The most important thing is to sit with your feelings without judgement and find healthy ways to express them.
š³āØ Go for long walks. Journal. Talk with a therapist or healing practitioner. Eat nourishing foods. Practice self-care. Say no or not today when you need to. Spend time with loving family and friends. Spend time with your self.
š³āØ Feel free to share your own thoughts and stories in the comments šš½šš½
