Grief is the conflicting feelings caused by the end or change in a familiar pattern of behavior. It’s the normal and natural reaction to any change in your life. That means that any event that causes change can result in grief.

It’s crucial to know that feelings of grief aren’t only the result of death because if people don’t realize they are experiencing grief, they might not find the tools they need to recover.

Think about your life. When could you have been grieving, but didn’t acknowledge it?

To watch a child grieve and not know what to do is undoubtedly a profoundly difficult experience for parents, teachers and caregivers.

Accurate description of grief…

Grief is the feeling of reaching out for someone who’s always been there, only to discover when you need them one more time, they are no longer there.

Are you as emotionally available for your spouse, children, family and friends as you want to be? If the answer is no, the problem could be that you’ve been carrying a heavy load of emotional baggage.
Most of us were taught the wrong tools to heal, so we stay trapped in our pain - which can result in being less available for the people in our lives that we love the most.

The Grief Recovery Method can help.

Grieving people generally have one thing in common; they’ve experienced loss. Beyond this, their experiences vary because grief is an experience influenced by many factors.
Comparing grief only seems to draw unnecessary boundaries between people who are otherwise in a position to empathize and support one another, we are able to have compassion and empathy towards what others are going through.
Then we know the value of honoring and respecting the significance of each other’s losses.

I am so grateful I was invited to be part of a circle of amazing individuals to train to facilitate a culturally-based healing from grief, loss, and Intergenerational trauma program.
While I had many take aways from day 1 of the training, there is one that stands out.
Acceptance.
Acceptance, to me, is recognizing, seeing and accepting an individual for who they are, without wanting to or attempting to change them.
I truly feel acceptance is one of the most precious, loving and most important things you can give to another human... including yourself. 💜

Grief isn't felt in stages. ❤

Very true ❤

How many time have you heard, “I understand EXACTLY how you feel”?

Although people might share similar circumstances surrounding loss, no one can every know EXACTLY how you feel.

WHY?

Because relationships are comprised of two unique individuals, making every relationship special and different. For that reason no one could never know how you feel. At best they know how they felt when they had a similar experience.

The Helping Children With Loss program teaches adults how to help their children or the children in their care, talk about their losses and to give voice to the feelings they experience. Adults learn how to help their children identify and give voice to undelivered communications they need to make to take the actions necessary to begin the recovery process. ❤

One of the six myths we believe that most limit grieving people, is “Don’t Feel Bad”
This foundation myth—Don’t Feel Bad—suggests that feeling bad or sad is not an appropriate reaction to a heart-breaking loss. It is baffling to be told not to feel bad as you try to make sense of the normal and natural emotions you experience.
In fact, by the time a child in our society has reached the age of 15, she or he has received more than 23,000 inputs suggesting that not only should they not feel bad in reaction to a grief event, but that they shouldn’t share those feelings with others.
Let's. Change. This.

Pretending is hard work for someone who is grieving. It costs vital energy and leaves you in no better place than before. Your feelings of sadness, anger, missing and despair haven’t disappeared.
Being authentic and vulnerable with others takes courage and it’s a risk, but without risk there is little chance for change.

Grief is an emotional response – yet often we try to ease our grief by using intellectual tools – we try to “figure it out,” “solve it” or “understand” it. Given the proper emotional tools, we can also achieve recovery from our grief. That’s what the Grief Recovery Method provides – the appropriate emotional tools for doing this work.
