Lately I've been reflecting on grief.
Not just the grief that comes with losing a loved one, but the many forms of loss we experience as humans:
The loss of trust.
The loss of a sense of belonging.
The loss of a dream we thought would happen.
The loss of a version of ourselves.
What I've noticed—in my own life and in my work with clients—is that grief does something surprising when we're willing to be with it.
It softens us.
And in that softening, something opens.
When we're no longer spending so much energy pushing away the pain, we often become more sensitive to what is true. We can hear our inner voice more clearly. We become more aware of what is aligned, what is no longer working, and what is quietly asking for our attention.
The grieving journey is not easy. But it has a powerful way of clearing and making space in our hearts and minds.
And when the dust settles, we're often standing closer to ourselves than before.
If you're moving through a season of loss right now, my heart is with you. 💗
And if you feel called, I'd love to hear:
What has grief taught you?
