đď¸ This time, Iâm writing this post as a granddaughter, the one grieving...
Iâve guided many through their journey of resilience.
Now, grief is inviting me to walk it again, personally.
A couple of days ago, I lost my grandmother.
She was the center of our family.
Steady. Loving. Present.
Her absence still settles into my days.
Some moments are soft. Others, sharp.
And in the silence that followed, a question rises again and again:
đŹ How do I want to be with this pain?
That question doesnât take the grief away.
But it gives me something to hold.
đ It reminds me that resilience is an attitude,
A way of being with whatâs hard, without abandoning myself.
Hereâs whatâs been helping me stay steady:
đ§ď¸ Permission - This is allowed. I donât need to hide it.
đ¤ Self-Compassion - I can feel broken, and still be whole.
đą Meaning - Her life shaped mine. That continues.
đ Presence - I can feel the pain, and not let if define me.
Grief isnât the opposite of resilience.
Sometimes, itâs where a new version of your Resilient Self is born.
Iâm not over it.
But Iâm in it with awareness, with care, and with choice.
And that, too, is resilience.
If youâre grievingâŚ
a loved one, a job, a version of yourself that doesn't fit anymore,
May you give yourself permission to feel.
To pause.
To choose how you want to move through it.
This journey is making the Circle of Resilience even more meaningful for me.
