Grief is not a disorder, a disease or a sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for love. The only cure for grief is to grieve. - Earl Grollman What emotions do you feel from your grief? Don’t let anyone lead you to think that there is a timeline or any organization to grief. Sometimes grief feels like fear, other times like anxiety, many times sadness, and even it feels like bittersweet moments in the present. It takes a...n incredible amount of strength and courage to work your way through grief, to make sense of life again, and to carry on living and moving forward. - Unknown We know that your life will never be the same without your loved one, and that grief never really goes away, it just evolves.

3 Truths About Grief: 1) Grief is personal. You will never find two with the same grief journey, so don't compare yours to others.... 2) Grief is not a linear journey. Some days you may feel okay, other days fearful, and other days 5 feelings at once. Try to handle emotions with patience. 3) Grief is natural. You may feel like you are losing your mind but in fact grief is a natural reaction to loss. Not only does it affect you mentally but it comes with physical symptoms as well. Practice self-care!
