Grief has so much to share with you. Grieving puts that knowledge into motion, offering wisdom. I say this with so much love: What you are currently doing in the hopes of not feeling your grief is causing more problems in your life than solutions. And I know that’s challenging because the world is still going while you fight to keep up with its turns. Time warps when a grief-stricken event happens. Everything gets slow, almost suspending, and then it's like someone pushed a fast-forward button. Things become blurry, and it’s hard to see what’s next. There are many ways to move forward with your grief in tow. And many ways to carry it that won’t get you stuck. You can start this process by creating a space and carving out time to be present with your grief. Letting what was once shoved down deep get some air. To feel is to heal. It’s the beginning of learning to manage and regulate your emotions. This is important because grief isn't logical. It doesn't follow the rules. It doesn't care if it's invited. And will pop up at the most inconvenient times. Grief deserves a place in your life, and when you let that happen, it no longer has a tight hold. I support my clients in safely letting grief in and feeling better because of it. This is available for you as well. You can book a consultation, and I explain how to get there from here. https://lnkd.in/ejPVFcC6 #grief #lifecoach #whatinspiresme #emotionalintelligence #healing

Grief is anything but linear; emotions are back and forth, up and down, and all over the place. One moment you may feel a semblance of peace, and the next, you’re overwhelmed by a wave of sorrow. This unpredictable journey is a natural part of the grieving process. It's important to understand that there’s no right or wrong way to grieve, and your emotions may shift unpredictably. Allow yourself to feel these emotions without judgment. It’s okay to have good days and bad days, moments of laughter followed by tears. Grief doesn’t follow a straight path; it’s a rollercoaster of feelings and experiences. Lean on your support system, seek comfort in the things that bring you peace, and take one step at a time. Remember, it’s perfectly normal for your grief to be all over the place. Embrace the process, and be gentle with yourself as you navigate through it. Let's support each other in this journey, acknowledging that grief is a unique and personal experience for everyone.

“Di Why would you need to see someone when you are grieving?” This is a question I’m often asked. What’s the point of a grief guide? 🌷Grief is often misunderstood. 🌷We don’t recognize how grief can show up, or it’s impact on us. 🌷Grief can impact our performance at work. 🌷We don’t make space for grief - we internalize our emotions and tell ourselves “I’m fine!” when we are anything but fine. 🌷We don’t “get over” grief, nor do we “move on” from the loss. 🌷We need to learn to adapt our life around our grief. 🌷We need to allow space to feel our emotions - to feel is to heal. I create a nurturing, safe space to be with your grief. I support the body with gentle energy healing. Our time together is shaped by where you are in your grief process. This can be in-person or online. Loss is a natural part of the cycle of life, yet we are often totally unprepared when a loved one dies. Grief is a “normal” part of the process but it is ignored, swept under the carpet, seen as being weak and vulnerable. It’s anything but 💜

My Raw and Real Experience of Grief 🌿 VULBERABILITY POST ALERT!! In the past eight months, life handed me its most bitter pills ... the loss of both my parents. I've opened up about this heart-wrenching journey in my video, not just to share, but to connect with anyone who's ever been touched by loss. Facing grief has been like walking through a thick fog, where even the simplest tasks felt like mountains. I'm sharing this raw truth, not for sympathy, but to genuinely express how grief can envelop us, making us feel lost in our own lives. This journey has taught me a profound truth — grief knows no time. It's not about 'getting over' loss but learning to live with it, allowing it to become part of our story. Our loved ones never truly leave us; they live on in the lessons they've imparted and the love they've shared. I've learned the importance of sitting with my grief, of fully acknowledging it. It's in these moments of vulnerability that we find our strength. It's okay to not be okay. Your grief is your own, and no one else's timetable applies to it. If my story resonates with you, know this — your grief is uniquely yours, and it's as strong and as gentle as you need it to be. There's no 'right way' to grieve, and no set time to move forward. Your emotions, your pace, your story — they're valid, they're heard, they're seen. In sharing my unfiltered journey, I hope to offer a hand to hold for anyone else navigating through their own seas of grief. I encourage you to share your own stories of loss and resilience in the comments. Together, we can find strength in our shared vulnerability. 🔗 If my words have touched a chord, or if you need a safe space to talk about your grief, my inbox is always open.

Have You Felt Invisible In Your Grief? Have you returned to work, or gone somewhere And found that no one mentions the name of your departed loved one? They walk around you Avoiding a conversation Because… Well they just don’t know what to say. And unfortunately they decide that the best way to handle your grief Is to say nothing at all. Pretend like it didn’t happen. And you feel Invisible The problem is that people don’t know what to say, they don’t want to upset you And perhaps they’ve never experienced grief themselves So rather than get it wrong, upset you, or be uncomfortable They opt to steer clear. This is so challenging for the griever. When what you need most is support, community, and compassion It is sorely lacking. So if you know someone who is grieving, take a moment At the very least acknowledge their loss And if you can… Check in with them every so often Make sure they know that you care. Feeling invisible in grief is heartbreaking. It feels as if you don’t matter and the life of your loved one didn’t matter. And it can lead to the griever  withdrawing and isolating further. Reach out.  Be kind It makes a world of difference. ✨Give me a heart in the comments if you’ve ever experienced feeling invisible in your grief.✨ #grief #griefsupport #griefjourney #griefandloss #griefawareness #griefcoach #griefrecovery #griefeducator 

Is your unprocessed grief impacting your life? If yes, what’s taking place in response to not dealing with it? For me, it was: -drinking -overeating -mindless scrolling -overbooking my schedule -isolating myself The temporary relief I was getting by indulging in the above only created more problems for me to solve. What about you? What helped me was: -letting my grief exist. -learning not to run away from it -acknowledging the vital purpose it served -discovering all the emotions that made up grief and how they presented -accepting that grief is a part of my life When you actively seek to process grief: -clarity is born -self-care takes priority -boundaries are welcomed -emotional management becomes a practice -healing becomes habitual When we work together, you: -mourn safely -continue functioning while working through it -allow your emotions to breathe -make peace with your grief - understand why you are numb and course-correct You never asked for grief. But it’s here. And you can make it an experience that honors what was while making what is beautiful. Getting support in this process is only a few clicks away: https://lnkd.in/eV6Utzjn I can’t wait to help you. ❤️

Are You allowing Grief To Hijack Your Life? In the beginning, those early days Grief is all consuming It is all there is… pain, loss, emotions And yet as time moves on, and it does I have to ask… Are you letting grief hijack your life? Now if you are still in early grief The answer is probably a big fat ‘Yes, of course!’ But what if you are a couple of years out, or more? What then? You see grief is normal Someone we love is no longer with us, no longer a part of our lives And it hurts. But it is not normal for this grief to completely overrun the rest of your life. Am I saying you won’t feel grief as the years go by? No, of course not. I still have my moments, some that engulf me in tears, But what I am suggesting is that you don’t want to allow the grief you have to hijack your life completely. The key is to learn how to integrate your grief Allowing the memories of your loved one space in your heart so that you remember them, And choosing new ways to approach the life you have left. ✨If you want help to integrate your grief whilst not forgetting your loved one, then message me ’help’ and I’ll send you a pdf of how you could work with me to do that.✨ #grief #griefsupport #griefjourney #griefandloss #griefawareness #griefcoach #griefrecovery #griefeducator ________________________________ Hi I’m Carol 💜 I’m a Certified Grief Educator and Coach who helps people integrate their grief so that they can start living life again.💜

THIS is one of the biggest challenges people face when trying to process a profound loss: Can you guess what it is? 👇🏽 I’m not stranger to loss. When I experienced my most recent loss-my divorce, I found myself stuck in a cycle of emotional OVERWHELM. I tried to navigate the overwhelm by avoiding my grief hoping for some relief , but instead of finding relief, I felt re-traumatized at every turn. Even as a grief & loss expert, this approach to grief was failing me. I knew there had to be a better way. That’s why I took years of research and experience and developed The Microdose Method - an evidence-based approach to grief support that breaks free from the outdated "stages of grief" model and facilitates true, full-body healing. ❌ If you're feeling overwhelmed by your emotions on day to day basis and don't know how to cope… ❌If you're tired of being told to "move forward" or "get over it" when you're still struggling so badly… ❌If you feel like you'll never not feel like this and can't seem to see a way forward... Imagine having a compassionate, step-by-step guide to help you navigate your grief journey - ALL of it, even the messy parts no one talks about. Picture yourself learning to process your emotions in a healthy, manageable way - without feeling overwhelmed or re-traumatized. Envision a future where you can honor your loss while still embracing the beauty and joy that life has to offer. That's exactly what our life-changing 70-page workbook, 'A New Way to Grieve,' offers. Get tangible tips and step-by-step exercises to help you move through grief and find peace- even if you’re currently in the depths of loss. Danyelle Kaluski https://lnkd.in/gzecdBVM

It's National Grief Awareness Week! This week provides us with a valuable opportunity to come together and raise awareness about the profound impact of grief in our lives. 🌿 Understanding the Different Ways Grief Can Show Up 🌿 One of the most crucial aspects of grief is recognizing that it can manifest in various ways, unique to each individual. Whether it's the loss of a loved one, a job, a relationship, or even a significant life change, grief can be experienced in a multitude of forms. It is vital that we acknowledge and honor these emotions, as they are an integral part of the healing process. By creating a safe space for ourselves and others to express grief, we validate the pain and allow for the necessary healing to take place. It is essential to remember that grief is not a linear process and does not adhere to a predetermined timeline. Each person's journey is unique, and it is crucial to provide compassionate support and understanding. By acknowledging the different ways grief can show up, we foster a community that embraces vulnerability and empathy. We can create an environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing their experiences and seeking the support they need. #NationalGriefAwarenessWeek #GriefAwareness #HealingJourney #EmotionalWellbeing
