The Grief Chronicles — 11•12•22 Book: Grief Day by Day x Jan Warner So last week I started this book, and it invites you to consider a different theme each week. There are 52 themes, and within each theme are quotes with a reflection for each day of the week. Each quote is meant to help you examine the theme from various perspectives. At the end of each week, you find a “Becoming a Grief Whisperer” exercise. Last weeks theme was, “Stages of Grief?” And that’s where I learned grief is not linear. This quote also stood out to me: “Some psychologist out there will tell you that grief is a process… Others say that grief should only last two years at the most, otherwise it’s abnormal. Take away a persons grief and guaranteed they’ll only be a frozen shell of a human-being afterwards. Grief is only love, it’s nothing to hide or send away with happy pills. Grief is a lifeline connecting two people who are in different realms together and it’s a sign of loyalty and hope” — Rebecca McNutt This weeks theme was loneliness. I read all seven days of the quotes and reflections, then completed the exercise. The part that wrecked me was: “Ask them if they have any advice for you on how to live, without them still being alive with you.” 🫠 All the conversations I’ve had with Gee about what I want(ed) to do came flooding in… I heard her affirmations, encouragement and advice. I know she would be on my case about putting my plans in motion and getting back on track with the ones that already were — even down to me creating content! I’m trying bro. I’m trying. 😩🤞🏽 There are plenty of times when I feel bombarded by loneliness, but feelings are fluid, which is why I chose this sound. 🔊 I KNOW that I am loved. I KNOW that Gee was/is loved. I hope you KNOW that you are loved. 🫶🏽 . . . . #grief #grieving #lifeaftergrief #copingwithgrief #griefdaybyday #Mourning #Griefjourney #grieftips #griefsupport #griefandloss #griefsucks😢😢 #healinghurts #griefislove #fyp #explorepage #foryou #xybca

Hey yall. I havent posted/been on here in over a month due to an unexpected tragedy in my life. My best fried @GLO passed away on 9/26/22. 12 years of friendship, and living together for the last 5 years… my life has been turned upside down & though jts been 4 weeks it doesnt seem real. Im not sure when i will get back to consistently posting or answering DMs… Unfortunately im not in the right mindset, shoot I went from no eating to comfort eating… weightloss is just not top of mind right now. I know I will have to get a grip at some point, but Im giving myself grace in this season as i know this is going to take a long while to process and accept. G, I will miss and love you forever 😞🥺💔❤️‍🩹🕊💜 #rip #bestfriend #bestfriends #bff #restinparadise #restinpeaceangel #restinlove #fyp #foryou #xybca
