EP57: Somehow this is Better - A New Look at Grief

Facing grief, we tend to fall into one of two categories:

1. Massive amounts of positivity which leads to suppressing, burying, and denying the pain inside (which creates triggers), or,

2. We are so in tune with our selves and emotions that we over-think and end up in a state of analysis paralysis. 

Either way, we can denote that pain left untouched or pain constantly sat in can leave us with bitterness, resentment, and hopelessness. I invite you into a safe space to go to those hard feelings. Face those memories, and allow yourself to FEEL. After having lost my own mother, I too am well acquainted with the stages of grief. You are NOT alone! You are loved, needed, wanted, and celebrated! 

Let's shift our perspective to seeing our circumstance with the narrative that "somehow this is better" even when we don't understand.
