How does everyone deal with their grief in recovery? It’s been one of the toughest things for me to navigate. ---

This one is definitely something we all need to talk about more often. I have taken a course (Mending Broken Hearts) which is amazing and beneficial, however doesn’t dive too much into tools to deal with grief and loss. I often heard elders say to go out into the woods and let it out and to be surrounded by trees. The trees are underrated in my opinion. Tree hugging is a thing. For me the grief doesn’t really go away. Every major achievement or award I get, I get sad because I wish I could see my mothers expression. I know she is happy for me in the spirit world but that doesn’t let me see her expression. ---
