Good Grief

Hi friend. It's been a weekend....and this morning I got back into routine. I had shared about how a close friend had died, and this morning on my FB LIVE in my mindset group, I really broke down.

I know greif is hard, but what I realized from sharing this morning is that grief isn't meant to be shared by ONE. 

It's meant to be shared by ALL. I think on some level we are ALL empaths and when one person is hurting and alone, then there isn't anyone to help take on that pain, and that's when the weight is too hard to carry. But when that pain is shared, it lightens the load, and it's a gift that we can accept from others when they also feel the pain we are in. 

All this to say, let others know of your pain. It's not meant to be taken on by ONE.

Lean into community

(or as I like to call it - "Communicate Unity") ....

because the bravest thing you can do is NOT to hide, but to come out and say, "I am hurting."

I know you have most likely experienced this pain and probably even more than once. Just know you are NOT alone in grief. 

Maybe the phrase 'good grief' isn't just a sarcastic saying, but maybe it actually means grieving IS good.

It shows how grateful you are for your person. 

I'm here if you need a person to share in your grief, too.

XOXO

Your sweaty bestie,
