Grief is Complicated

I started thinking about this again the other day. It was after I’d spoken with my friend Shauna (Shauna Domalain Medium) in preparation for the podcast episode we recorded. I was reflecting.

The kind of reflecting where you feel like you step outside of yourself and observe yourself and your thoughts. I noticed that my mom and dad (and other loved ones who are in heaven) flow in and out of my conscious thoughts in waves. Time can pass and I will suddenly realize that I hadn’t thought about them.

This can stir all kinds of feelings inside of us. There have been times I questioned how I grieved and grieve. And just like in all other areas of life, it’s so important to not compare our 𝙝𝙤𝙬 to anyone else’s. Everyone’s grief journey is unique, and there’s no right way to do it. Nor does how we grieve determine how much we loved, or continue to love.
