Grief can be overwhelming, and it’s easy to forget self-care. 🌿 Taking even a few minutes each day, whether it’s a walk, deep breathing, or sitting in silence, helps you recharge and process your emotions.

Taking a break doesn’t mean you’re not grieving; it means you’re honoring yourself. Allow yourself to rest and replenish.💖

Learn how grief and mourning work so you can get the self-care you need.

Grief is not linear! There are many ups and downs on the journey through the wilderness of grief. 🌿

Some of the emotions you may feel are:
- Numbness and detachment: You may experience a sense of emotional numbness or detachment from your surroundings and relationships.

- Guilt and regret: You may grapple with feelings of guilt over things you did or didn't do, or with regrets about the past.

- Anxiety and fear: Grief can trigger anxiety about the future and fear about coping with the loss and its consequences.

- Anger and resentment: Feelings of anger, frustration, or even rage can arise, directed at oneself, others, or even a higher power.

There is no timeline in grief. Take your time. Feel your feelings. Be active and get rest too. We are here to support you. 💖
