Grieving the Way Things Used to Be


Listen Later

It is one thing to grieve something you are anticipating losing, but there was absolutely no way to anticipate how quickly life would radically transform as a result of this pandemic. And then we had to try to adapt to life without all the things that made us feel safe, normal, or familiar. You may still be very overwhelmed as you try to make adjustments, and it’s entirely normal for that overwhelm to manifest itself as anxiety or depression. If you are feeling stuck right now, I want to offer you some ways to slow down your thoughts and connect with your mind and heart in this moment, even if that feels scary. 

Today I am going to share with you some simple yet powerful ways to move through your intense emotions rather than stuff them down. Finding ways to work through these emotions allows us to release them more readily. When we fail to do this, these emotions can take a serious toll on our physical bodies. Right now, more than ever, it is an important time to care for yourself as you gather strength to endure what still lies ahead. You’re not alone! 

 

In this episode we’ll explore: 

  • Why it’s worth it to take time to grieve 
  • How grief can manifest itself in different ways
  • How you cannot release pain unless you’ve taken time to address it
