IF YOU’RE FACING GRIEF…
Know that grief is love that didn’t get to be expressed. Let yourself feel it — there’s no rush. Take all the time you need. You’ve suffered a great loss, and you are allowed to cry. Don’t let anyone tell you to “get over it” just because time has passed. Grief doesn’t follow a schedule. But in your pain, don’t turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms like alcohol or drugs. Feel every emotion, but don’t stop taking care of yourself. Cook, practice self-care, meditate — whatever keeps you grounded. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting; it means learning to carry your love and your loss together.
