It Has Only Been...

Grief is a learning process—a strenuous and unpredictable one no one signs up for. Why is that we expect ourselves or others to learn a whole new reality in a matter of weeks, months, or even years?

Grieving people are relearning their world, themselves, and often, their beliefs about everything they thought they knew. Please be patient and kind.

“It’s only been [fill in time since death or event]” can be a useful offering of grace to yourself and to another who is grieving. #groundedgrief#grieftherapy#griefcounseling#griefeducation#ambiguousloss#disenfranchisedgrief#traumaticgrief#complicatedgrief#divorcegrief#perinatalloss#miscarriage#suicideloss#chronicillness#homicideloss#100dayproject inspired by @suleikajaouad
