"Hello --It is May 15th and welcome to Wonderland Fellow Griever. — “You’ve just stepped Down the Rabbit Hole — where mental health meets madness after loss. This is your daily dose of truth, grief, and yes, just the right bit of madness.”

WEEK  3: Control & Surrender

Day 15: Today’s truth is: "Remember who you are" Idea: Reclaiming lost parts of self. 

In grief, we lose not only our child, but sometimes ourselves. Our roles change. Our future plans shift. And suddenly we’re asking, “What’s left of me?”

But here’s what I believe: who you are (were) isn’t completely gone — it’s just under pain. It is possible to unearth it and bring what serves you back, while welcoming -- or familiarizing ourselves with the new bits, as we can. Someday, though it's hard to imagine now, these bits won't feel that stiff newness that feels uncomfortable like it does now - one day it will be a comfy, softened part of your new life's tapestry ---maybe just not yet, and that's ok.

Today, name one truth about yourself that still stands. One strength, one value, one small piece that was yours long before loss.

You are still in there. Grief doesn’t erase you. It reshapes you. And remembering who you are is how you begin again.

So, that's all for now...that's the nugget to carry today

Take a breath. Take what you need. leave the rest. And come back tomorrow because, remember, you're not broken—you're grieving. And you're not alone in this madness. ---I'll be right here Talk Soon."
