A beautiful summary of the journey of grief and how there’s no ‘right’ way to grieve ⬇️💛 (author unknown)

Grief is not just an emotion.

It’s an unraveling, a space where something once lived but is now gone. It carves through you, leaving a hollow ache where love once resided.

In the beginning, it feels unbearable, like a wound that will never close.

But over time, the raw edges begin to mend. The pain softens, but the imprint remains—a quiet reminder of what once was.

There is no timeline, no “right” way to grieve. Some days will be heavy, and some will feel lighter.

Some moments will bring unexpected waves of sadness, while others will fill you with gratitude for the love you were lucky enough to experience.

The truth is, you never truly “move on”. You move with it. The love you had does not disappear; it transforms.

It lingers in the echoes of laughter, in the warmth of old memories, in the silent moments where you still reach for what is no longer there.

And that’s OK.

Grief is not a burden to be hidden. It is not a weakness to be ashamed of. It is the deepest proof that love existed, that something beautiful once touched your life.

So let yourself feel it. Let yourself mourn. Let yourself remember.

Honor your grief, for it is sacred. It is a testament to the depth of your heart.

And in time, through pain, you will find healing. Not because you have forgotten, but because you have learned how to carry both love and loss together.

When stress becomes overwhelming, a grounding technique like using your five senses can help ease physical sensations and take your focus off what’s causing you to feel stressed.

Take a moment to look at your surroundings. Either in your head or out loud, list:

• 5 things you can see

Today is World Mental Health Day.
This years theme is Meaningful Connections Matter.
When it comes to our mental health, our connections with loved ones, community, colleagues, professional supports, connections to Country and connections to ourself- they matter.
Connections help us achieve good mental health.
Take a moment today to reflect on your connections, those meaningful connections that are important.
