Grief is not a flaw to be ignored; it's love with nowhere to go.
Being human means feeling deep emotions and forming bonds. When we experience loss, grief reflects those connections.
And acknowledging grief honors what or who matters most.

If you know someone who is grieving, don't hesitate to share a joyful memory of their loved one. By recounting your experiences, you show your support and can help your friend feel connected to the person who has passed away.

Paulo Coelho once said, "Never. We never lose our loved ones. They accompany us; they don’t disappear from our lives. We are merely in different rooms."

When grieving, memories can help sustain the presence of those who are now physically absent in our lives.

In times of sorrow, feelings of isolation can be overwhelming.
Feeling lonely is akin to hunger or thirst, indicating a need for connection. There's no shame in solitude; we all seek companionship. Start with small actions to strengthen social ties.

How do I know if I am grieving properly??

There are no set rules to adhere to, no timetables to maintain, and no judgment to dread.
Mourning is as unique as a fingerprint. Follow what nurtures your spirit.

Gentle ways for movement to help with grief:   
Go for a short, daily walk in nature 
Try gentle yoga, pilates,
Tend to a garden
 
You don’t have to run a marathon. Sometimes, the most powerful act of self-care is simply standing up, stepping outside and allowing your body to lead the way forward
