A Visual Representation of Grief

The complexity of grief is what makes it feel so immense.

In movies we are told that there are stages to grief and while that helps us feel a bit more organized as we process a loss, it's not totally accurate.

Grief is not predictable. There's no timeline or guide to navigating grief fully.

And I think that this is why it feels so lonely -- because we can't have someone tell us what step to take next or how to skip over the difficult parts.

Navigating grief means adapting to your "new normal" and finding ways to process the death, cope with the grief, and move forward in life in a way that honors what you've been through.

GRIEF IS SO HARD 💔

How's your grief today? Sending each of you lots of love.
