Grief: Loss & Change
We grieve because our life now doesn’t look or feel like how we thought it would.
We grieve because of a health diagnosis – whether chronic, treatable, terminal, or unknown. We grieve because of divorce. We grieve a loss of a sense of self because of roles and responsibilities, career changes, or other times of big transitions in our lives.
We grieve unmet expectations, crushed dreams, or shattered visions of the future.
Grief visits us for reasons both big and (seemingly) small. It certainly visits in times of unwanted change, but, super confusingly, it even shows up for desired, positive, or chosen changes in our lives.
With every choice we make, or every change we experience, there’s an element of grief. In other words, we are grieving – in ways big and small – all throughout our lives.
But, somehow, perversely, that doesn’t mean that we’re actually any good at this grieving business. We often struggle to make sense of it; we flail about trying to figure out how to comfort ourselves; we get lost in the pain; and we can’t figure out what the hell to do now.
Depending on your loss, you might be grieving entirely in private, all while trying to keep up a good face with the rest of the world that all remains well in your life. Those efforts, while completely understandable, are also exhausting, on top of the exhaustion of grief itself.
But make no mistake, grieving even with the support of others is also damn hard. The pitying looks, the awkward encounters, the loaded ever-present “how are you?” question that never seems to want an honest answer. They mean well. You hope.
- You want space for yourself.
- You want support for yourself.
- You want help figuring this all out.
