We spent a great deal of time trying to pathologize the very human experience of grief and realize that it’s not a problem to be solved. Unfortunately medical model frameworks still try but we know the cost of that - A huge problem in our grief illiterate world is that society’s window of tolerance for someone’s grief does not align with the enormous impact the loss has in a griever’s life.
Grief isn't always death but can be loss of circumstances friends loss of dream I felt when I moved a few years ago it felt like loss but now I embrace the change
Learning to integrate loss, whatever kind that may be takes time and can certainly feel isolating when new- I’m glad you were able to find a way to make peace with it all.
