The more we try to push grief away, the longer and more painful the journey becomes. By welcoming grief with openness, we create space for true healing. As strange as it may feel, try to invite grief in like a friend—you can be mad, you can be sad, but at its core, every feeling is rooted in deep love.

It's officially the first day of November, which means the Thanksgiving festivities are quickly approaching. It's a season of thankfulness, but for those of us who have lost a loved one, it can be difficult to feel grateful. It's at this time that we are surrounded by reminders that our loved one is no longer with us, and it can be harder to enjoy the holidays with their absence. This Thanksgiving, try to be thankful for the things that help us preserve the memory of our loved ones. Engage in conversations about them at the dinner table, reminisce about holiday memories, and recognize that even in our grief, we find a connection to the love we held for that person.

A common misconception is that grief has a timeline and that one must experience each stage of grief to feel complete. However, this is not the case. It is important to note that everyone experiences grief differently and at their own pace.
