When grief comes to us suddenly and unexpectedly it can take the ground from under our feet? Whether it be a parent, friend or child When someone we love ends their life, it can feel like nothing makes sense anymore. How is it they couldn’t see all the love, life and promise in, and surrounding them? How could they leave us? What did we do wrong? What should we have done? When you lose your child, you lose the future you were helping them work towards. They were the future which would continue far beyond ours. Death comes to us all, but generally we expect to die before our children Grief can turn everything on its head, so it’s no wonder the future can appear so scary Beliefs we held before, can be turned on their heads. Things that helped us feel safe previously may now be useless If grief has made your world feel scary, be kind to yourself as you navigate the new world you live in You are not alone in this ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #griefshare #healing #loveneverdies #grievingdaughter #sayinggoodbye #widowsofinstagram #griefandloss #griefprocess #lifeafterloss #healingjourney #grieving #griefsucks #losingaparent #griefrecovery #grievingmother #mentalhealthmatters #lossmama #childloss #saytheirnames #youarenotalone #lifeandloss #griefwork #grievingprocess #grieftherapy #griefjourney #lossofalovedone #growthandgrief #traumahealing #loveyourself #heavenandearth https://www.instagram.com/p/CoJ0Y0OMucd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Who: Malik Wright. When: April 19th, evening. Where: Chapel.

Griefshare. The thought ringing through Nova's mind from the moment they'd made their way there that evening was the same one that had run through it when Ruth had initially suggested they give this thing a shot; sounds like a load of bullshit. He'd held off until today, with Mother's Day looming nearer and seeming somehow heavier here than it had been when he'd been locked away. Still, it'd somehow taken less than half of a meeting before Nova was dismissing any interest in sharing before exiting the building entirely, without warning. He's perched himself onto the edge of the small brick walls that line the garden, smoke released into the air although he's sure it's frowned upon on church grounds. "Can I ask you something?" It's only once the meeting has concluded and the members are making their way back to where they belong that their voice bothers to offer anything up, weight of their discomfort thrust in his direction. "You think that kumbaya bullshit actually does anything for...well, fucking anything? Or is this just another excuse to try and get us sinners into the house of the lord?"

Mrs. V attends a Griefshare meeting, weekly. This is one of the excercises that the group did, recently. She's not an artist. But, she enjoyed the experience. And I think it looks pretty good.😊💜

It is with great sadness that I announce Goldie left us on July 14th 2022 aka today at the ripe age of 23. A little backstory on Goldie: He was abandoned by the neighbors when he was 3 years old & my landlady adopted him & has remained my building’s cat for 2 decades. I remember hearing about Goldie for the first time & my face lit up as I was excited to meet the cutie of the building. Goldie, thank you for helping me get through all of my darkest nights in 2020 - early 2022. Thank you for all the cuddles that got me through painful times, every hug/cuddle meant the world to me especially when we were locked indoors. Your affection, the greetings every morning & for always being there for me whenever I needed you the most. I’ll never forget these precious moments 😭 You lived a long boujee cat life, requesting steak & fine foods that I’m thankful to have shared your final 2 years with you. Saying goodbye was the hardest as you were frail & I couldn’t bear to cuddle you one last time without the fear of hurting you, but your head rested on my hand & refused to let me go. Thank you for being my friend, a companion & to many others as well. You’ll be dearly missed & forever adored. Your name matched your heart as you were truly golden 🥹Rest In Peace 😿♥️xxx #griefrecovery #stillbirth #weight #memories #pregnancyloss #anxiety #mentalhealthawareness #sadness #sad #weightloss #art #rip #widow #profit #bereavedparents #quotes #memorial #bereavedmother #covid #gain #griefshare #therapy #bereaved #writersofinstagram #in #selflove #siblingloss #funny #memes #poetrycommunity (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgCO3fHDkjf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Living with Losing You - 12/17/2022

Okay, today was aggressively busy, but it was also GREAT!

I got asked if I wanted to help feed the homeless at church, and of course I had to say yes. So, I started off my morning doing good for others, which in turn made me feel good! It was incredible though because I ended up seeing the girl that I met the first time I ever went to Grace, and my GriefShare leader was helping run the event. I got to meet her daughter, and some other wonderful people. One that stood out to me was Char. She is my spirit animal. I really hope that I get to see her again. She was the sweet but edgy older later. Before we started serving the pastor told us to say our “happy and crappy” for 2022. So, naturally I mentioned losing you and then coaching as my highlight. Her and I ended up working together in both areas, so we got to talk about it. She said something that really stuck with me. She said you left me with a huge heart. It’s such a gift. I feel like I already had a heart for this, and for helping others, but I do more now than ever. I want to not just make a difference, I want to BE the difference.

I did end up leaving a little early to go to my little brother’s soccer game. I have decided that I am going to start to be a little more blunt in these blogs. It’s the point of them, right? Either way, I went to his game though he didn’t play cause he missed a few practices from being sick. Kind of wish I had that tidbit of information. Either way, all good. It was still fun to watch and support his team. I made a comment that I was going to hang out with another girl who broke off her engagement because her fiancé struggled with depression, etc. A comment was made about how she had so much strength and made the right decision. It felt very backhanded and directed at the fact that I stayed with you, but I have no regrets. Also, people don’t really have an ounce of an idea of what we endured, so let them have their thoughts.

I feel like at times, people without all the context just harp on the weirdest shit sometimes. Like fighting me on the fact that my buddy and I went to a holiday party and it was not a date. I would have just said if it was or it wasn’t. Drives me nuts if I am being honest. That’s a whole other can of worms and honestly could probably use some more therapy with how I have been feeling. I have plans to call and get that scheduled on Monday. I know that the people in my life (again, some not all) do not mean things in malicious ways, but sometimes they don’t understand the weight that their words carry.

After the game I went to go to PS to pick up brunch, quickly took Sadie to the park, and then got ready to go to the zoo with my friend and her daughter. I have a pass and I had two of the half off coupons, so I thought it could be fun. And it was!!!

This was also the first time I had been back at the zoo since you and I went back in June, before you died. It was one of the last things we did together in SD. It was a good idea to give it time, but it was still a little sad to be there and recall all the places we stopped for silly selfies, etc. I realized that one of the buildings was name “Jake’s Cool Critters”, and I think that was new since you and I had been there. Or maybe I just noticed it this time around, all things considered. Either way, we had a blast. Best first trip back to the zoo. I will likely renew my membership too. You’d want me to still love it. I promise that I’ll see your mountain lions every time I go back now. I ended up getting myself s snake souvenir. He is currently sitting on your chair. Seemed fitting. We also walked Balboa parka little bit, and passed the place where we took pictures in our matching hats. I’ll add those on here.

Well, since Logan won his game this morning, he had a second game. My dad had his holiday party, so I ended up being the one to have to take him. I was supposed to see Natalia for aps and drinks, but honestly, it was fine and I was wiped. So, I quickly came home from the zoo, dropped off my stuff, took Sadie out, and then went to pick him up and took him to his game. I had an hour before he played, so I went and grabbed myself dinner. I didn’t eat anything except a snack at the zoo, so I was starving. Chick Fil A was the obvious choice. It was close to the field an quick. My parents back me back to the game, and luckily this time Logan got to play! Unfortunately they lost, but it was a very intense / good game.

After the game I met up with Bri and we walked Sadie. Then I got home, called a friend while I cleaned, and now it’s bed time. I am WIPED. Luckily tomorrow isn’t as busy, but I still have a lot of things that I should do and that I should catch up on.

My brain is struggling recently. Just trying to continue to push through it. Adding a picture of a quote that I found that was quite fitting.

Made it another day. Miss you!

Rest in Peace, James Burton Nichols.

My grief comes in waves… I remember learning about this during my GriefShare group sessions. I found this meme on my friend Jan’s wall just now and it fits my current state. This second year of Mother’s Day celebrations without Mom and feeling like my family is now fragmented—has been teary and unfortunately has caused me to be in rage. Why the anger? Because everything is so different now. The years of traditions around Mother’s Day have evolved. My husband read this meme and says that there’s wisdom in it, and he’s spot on. I am grateful for the new traditions. I have found great joy in the unexpected changes to our family routines. And most of all, I’m thankful for God’s grace through the grief, the tears, the anger and the pain. https://www.instagram.com/p/CdUt_l5uuYP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It is normal to grieve. It is okay to give yourself permission to feel these emotions. Please don’t shame yourself for feeling grief. Your soul is yearning for love and feelings of belonging within that feeling of love. ✨🖤✨ Now is the most important time to work on self care. What I mean by that, is for you to do as many things for yourself that create that feeling of love and joy inside your soul in this present moment of time. 🫶🏻🦋✨ Be gentle with yourself. Speak to yourself in your mind as though you were a young child in need of nurturing and comforting. You deserve unconditional love, always. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #trauma #griefjourney #support #grieftherapy #griefsupport #griefhealing #lossofalovedone #mentalhealthsupport #inspiration #griefislove #love #griefquotes #selflove #griefawareness #therapy #healing #selfcareissacred #griefandloss #loss #lifeafterloss #grief #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #griefshare #selfcare #grievingprocess #griefrecovery #mentalhealthawareness #tetessajoubert #teressamediumreadings https://www.instagram.com/p/CdUNbfzuyPl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mormonism conditioned me to suppress all unpleasant emotions. Even when it was sadness or grief at the funeral of my grandparents and uncles. - “Our bodies feel every emotion we have whether we make the time and space for them or not” - But now that I’ve left Mormonism and lost the community I once had, the grief and sadness has become excruciating, especially knowing that I cannot, in good conscience, return to that community. - “Grief is not something to be counselled or to get over. We actually should be grieving something every day as humans.” - The most helpful thing I’ve learnt since leaving Mormonism has been how to feel and manage my emotions, especially grief and sadness. - “That is how we stay present in this world that has so much pain in it.” You can find the conversation we had about grieving Mormonism on our site, exmoliving.com (link in bio), or copy this address into your browser https://exmoliving.com/grieving-mormonism/ ❤Simon . . . . . #grief #grieving #griefjourney #griefsupport #grievingprocess #exmormon #postmormon #apostate #exmo #cultsurvivor #excult #faithtransition #postmormonlife #postmormonmentalhealth #mentalhealth #griefandloss #griefshare #healingafterloss #griefhealing #mentalwellness https://www.instagram.com/p/CTN3hUsPx-d/?utm_medium=tumblr

I think many of us sometimes don’t realize that grief can affect you physically. Looking back when I was first dealing with grief my sleep patterns were all off wack, I had headaches daily, and I also gained weight. It took me a while to actually realize that it was grief that was causing all of these issues. It’s so important to take care of ourselves and recognize when those physical symptoms of grief when they appear.🙏🏻 ————————————————————————- #griefhealing #griefprocess #griefandhealing #griefrecovery #griefsucks #griefhasnodeadline #grieftojoy #griefjourney #griefsupportgroup #grieflookslikethis #mentalhealth #griefshare #healinggrief #griefandloss #grieftalk #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #psychologytoday #survivinggrief #grief #griefisajourney #tinytinymoments #talkaboutgrief #griefisreal #copewithgrief #mentalhealth #psychology #griefawareness #forevermissed (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGAYYpwD_x0/?igshid=1enhybz0pjqcv
