Welcome to May 3; "We're All Mad Here" DAILY Mental Health Nugget

“Hello --It is May 3rd and welcome to Wonderland Fellow Griever. — “You’ve just stepped Down the Rabbit Hole — where mental health meets madness after loss. Let’s get real, together. This is your daily dose of truth, grief, and yes, just the right bit of madness.”

WEEK 1: I discuss Identity & Transformation

Day 3: Today’s truth from Alice is: “I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.”

I want to say something bold: You will never be the same. That can sound terrifying. But maybe, just maybe, it can also be freeing.

Because you don’t have to fit back into a life that doesn’t fit anymore. You can let go of expectations. You can be a new version of you — one that’s shaped by grief but also by love, resilience, and fierce mothering, or fathering, or sistering, or friending....whatever fits griever.

Ask yourself today: Who am I becoming? And what part of the old me am I ready to release? How about that as a journal prompt --- or a thought prompt for meditation or a moment of reflection? 

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."
