If you’re the one grieving, you know that the loss of your beloved saps your strength and ability to think clearly. Sadness and sorrow are completely normal, but you’re not always sure how to express what you’re feeling. For me, the most common thing was being unable to sleep well. I couldn’t turn off my thoughts and worries. Read more: What to say (and what NOT to say) when someone has died What can I say instead of “sorry for your loss”? Can I see another’s woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another’s grief, and not seek for kind relief? – Sir William Blake

The Presentation

We were enjoying a Sunday afternoon. At that moment, I was a wife, a mother, a saleswoman, and a partner with my best friend in the whole world. After lunch, we went our separate ways. Little did I know that our goodbye kiss would be the last.

Healing comes from letting there be room for all of “this” to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy. – Pema Chodron Whatever your past, current or future loss may look or feel like, remember that every loss is worthy of time and compassion Talk about your grief. Not everyone is comfortable talking about how they feel, and that’s ok. Still, you can find validation and even encouragement by expressing something as simple as, “I’m sad today.” For those of us who process things verbally, consider having meetings (casually with a friend, regularly with a support group, or professionally with a counselor) to discuss where you’re at in the grieving process. Since this journey to living beyond loss and grief is so personal, it also depends on how you choose to move through it.
