“If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

Keep moving forward even when all may feel lost.

Amidst grief, prioritizing self-care becomes paramount. Taking the time to attend to your physical needs—eating well, getting enough rest, and maintaining routines—can provide stability during this turbulent time. Additionally, don't hesitate to seek support from loved ones or professionals. Accepting help with daily tasks and leaning on others for emotional support fosters resilience and aids in the healing process. Remember, asking for assistance is not a sign of weakness but a courageous step toward self-compassion and eventual healing.

Grief can be hard to deal with and we've been in the business long enough to know that isolation isn't helpful. Reach out to a professional if you are feeling like you need to. You are never alone.
