When You're Grieving
Grief can show up in many ways after a loss, a change, the ending of something meaningful, or even things that never had a chance to begin. It doesn’t always look the same, the process is not linear and doesn’t follow a clear timeline. Some days may feel heavier than others, and certain moments can bring unexpected waves of emotion. Grief does not need to be solved, it needs space to be felt. Giving yourself even small moments of rest and comfort can matter.
