Grief And loss

How do y’all go through grief

Grieving. Grieving is the way…I used to avoid it, but it just get stored deeply and affects us unconsciously, warping our realities and senses of our selves and others. It’s really important for to engage with it, acknowledge it, and also be aware that it is an ever changing experience. That the way I feel NOW is not how I will always feel. I love this passage I read in a book last year…

“We do not disappear, nor do we drown. Nor do we cry forever. Grief changes, growing from its wild beginnings into a kind of dignity. If, from time to time, tears are called from us, they’re no longer frightening; they are a small ceremony keeping us close to the world. They make us less brittle, more resilient. We weep because something is pouring in and we’re overflowing, because it is impossible to say anything in some moments, and it is equally impossible not to offer something back. The salt tears are remnants of our oceanic beginnings, and they are also the residue of the difficult sea we cross in this life. We contain both the timeless depths and the waves washing over the fragile raft that carries us from birth to death.”

Seeking for support that’s physical, emotional and practical support can help you in someway. I have never gone through sich but I hope that helps.
