Grief can make you feel unlike yourself.
You might forget simple things.
Feel exhausted but unable to sleep.
Become anxious for no obvious reason.
Feel numb one hour and overwhelmed the next.
Some of what happens in grief can be frightening, especially when nobody has explained it to you.
This space is here to help make sense of it.
Not to diagnose you.
Not to tell you how to grieve.
Just to help you understand what your mind and body may be doing.
My body feels different
Sleep, exhaustion, appetite and physical symptoms.
→ Understand grief in the body
My brain isn’t working
Memory, concentration, brain fog and disbelief.
→ Understand the grieving brain
My emotions are all over the place
Anger, guilt, numbness, anxiety and all the contradictions.
→ Understand grief and emotions
Everything else has changed too
Identity, relationships, triggers and the losses that come after the loss.
→ Understand how grief changes life
You don't need to understand all of it.
Sometimes knowing why something is happening makes it a little less frightening.
Sometimes it doesn't.
You can read one thing and leave.
