There is huge expectation from society to be done grieving in a few days

The beginning of grief it was easier for me to allow grief in and to grieve openly because it was so obvious that I would be grieving. But as time goes on, grief really doesn’t have such a front seat in my life, and everyone might not realize the depth of grief and how vast it is in my life.

Here are some tools I’ve used to allow myself to grieve, even after many years.

-Allow space for my emotions and feelings

-Use something else to trigger the build up of emotions

-realize that I can’t always pinpoint everything to grief as time goes on, but that grief becomes a part of who I am. I can blame everything on grief, or I can take steps forward whether it’s grief or not.

-Begin discovering who I am

-Acknowledge that everyone else will move on- this doesn’t mean you are not allowed to grieve.
