Grieving positively is often a term people don’t understand.

It is not about dismissing grief, or minimising it, on the contrary, grief is hard work and has to be felt. It’s about learning how to support ourselves, mentally, physically and emotionally in the best way that we can.

As a society we are not good at meeting our needs, or caring for ourselves throughout life and its challenges.

We keep on pushing through, we have ridiculously high expectations, and we can be our own worst enemies.

The idea is not that there is a right way to do this, or that you have to be perfect at it, it’s about learning how to lean into your needs, and learn the tools to support yourself throughout your healing journey.

There is no right or wrong way, there is only your way, and you have to learn how to find your way through your grief in the most positive way that you can

Grief is now a companion for life and we need to learn how to nurture ourselves through it in a kinder way, without expecting ourselves to be perfect.
