😖"Why am I missing someone I shouldn't??"

You can miss someone that hurt you.
Or a relationship that wasn't healthy.
Even long for the good parts while knowing the whole thing wasn't safe

Grief is about attachment, not perfection.
Missing someone doesn't mean you'd choose the same situation over again.
I just means it mattered to you.

🤕Your body in grief processes loss too
It can look like brain fog, fatigue, body aches, sleep and appetite changes, chest tightness.

🩵If you're exhausted, unfocused, or not "yourself", your nervous system may still be carrying something heavy.
Grief lives in the body, not just the mind.🌿

One grief I feel like isn't talked about enough is Disenfranchised Grief.

Grieving:
The ex-partner
The Miscarriage
The estranged parent
The pet
The version of life you thought you'd have

When others don't recognize your loss, you may minimize it too.
But your heart doesn't need permission to hurt.
Unrecognized grief is still real grief.

Sometimes it isn't just *one* loss.
It's the divorce, then the move, then the job change, then the friendship that faded.

Grief stacks.
When losses layer on top of each other, your nervous system can feel overwhelmed, numb, or reactive.
If you feel like you're grieving "too much", it may not be one thing, but many things.

You can grieve before the loss actually happens.
-When a diagnosis is given
-When a marriage is slowly ending
-When you see changes coming

Anticipatory grief is confusing because the person or situation is still here, but something has already shifted
If you feel sadness before the "official" loss, that doesn't mean you're giving up.
It means your heart sees what's coming.

💔What happens when other people are uncomfortable with your grief?

Sometimes the hardest part of grief isn't the loss.
It's the comments. "Everything happens for a reason", "At least....", or "You should be feeling better by now."

Other people's discomfort can make you question your own process.
But your grief does not need to be tidy for someone else's comfort.
You're allowed to take up space with it❣️

Grief doesn't pause because you have children.
You still have to pack lunches, show up to games, answer questions, and be emotionally available.
All while carrying your own heaviness.

It's okay if you don't always do it perfectly, or if your kids see you sad sometimes.
You are allowed to be both a grieving human and a loving parent at the same time.

Anger is one of the most misunderstood grief emotions

You might feel angry at:
-The person who left
-Doctors
-God
-Yourself
-The unfairness of it all

Anger is protective, if often shows up when sadness feels too vulnerable.
It doesn't mean you're bitter
It doesn't mean you're doing grief wrong.
Sometimes anger is just pain with armor on💚

🌿High Functioning Grief:
-Going to work
-Showing up for your kids
-Smiling in public
-Getting things done...and still be grieving deeply.

High-functioning grief is quiet. It hides in exhaustion, shows up at night, and surfaces in random waves.

💛Just because someone is "handling it well", doesn't mean it isn't heavy, functioning is not the same as healing.

😵‍💫"Why am I still not over this?"

No one talks about the timeline of grief.
Some losses don't hurt less with time, they just hurt differently
🩵You may not cry every day anymore, but certain dates still sting
🩵Certain songs can still catch your breath
🩵Certain conversations still feel heavy

Healing doesn't mean "not caring", it doesn't mean forgetting, and it definitely doesn't mean being done.
Grief doesn't expire.
If you're still carrying something years later, you're not broken, you're human.
