Yes to all of this, Ruhie. I find the first especially true. Small things bother me a lot less. The worst has already happened, after all. Material things also lessen in importance.
So true Tiffany! “The worst has already happened” 💔 it makes you completely reevaluate what matters in life and let go of the superficial unimportant stuff
To answer your question - What unexpected lessons have you learned through your own experience with grief?
Grief never goes away. The wave of grief comes in - sometimes harshly and sometimes slowly - and then it goes out, like the wave of the ocean. The going out gives us a reprieve long enough to get us ready for the next wave heading to the shore.
So true Donna! Grief stays with us for life and we never quite know when a wave will hit. All we can do is learn to ride the waves and carry our loved one in our hearts as we navigate life 🤍 thank you for sharing your experience and I’m so sorry for your loss 🙏🏼❤️🩹
Thank you so much Stephanie! 🙏🏼 I’m so passionate about breaking the silence around grief which affects everyone at some point no matter how hard we try to avoid it. I hope to help anyone else going through it feel less alone through having more open conversations ❤️🩹✨
We lost our 8 year old grandson last May in a tragic accident. This past year has been hard. All of the firsts are hard. Thank you for this post. What you are writing is so important.

Ruhie - I'm sorry for the loss of your dad and LOVE that you are writing about such an important topic (that is still so taboo for many!)
