What is grief?

Grief is deep sorrow caused by a death, an ending, or a loss.

We don't get to control how life changes...

We do have 100% control of how (or if) life changes us!

We can choose to armor up against the pain.

We can choose to remain the same.

We can choose to grow our capacity to experience all of life.

Would you trade the grief for not having the experience at all?

If no, acknowledge your bravery, vulnerability, and willingness to be fully human.

If yes, ask yourself?

How am I wiser?

What do I know now that I didn't know before?

Is there something for me to learn about myself?

Is there something for me to give back or let go of that wasn't mine?

This is pain.
This is grief.

Pain is part of the human experience.

This pain means I loved.

I can let myself feel this.

This will pass.

I am open to the whole human experience.

Right now, I can let myself grieve.

Right now, I can let myself cry.

This is a loss.

This feeling is happening only because I loved.

There's always a rainbow after the rain.

I'm glad I chose to love.


Now I can begin to heal.
