And there is grief
The ground has shifted.
What was once your familiar life, no longer is.
The routines you counted on to ground you, to make you feel safe,
Are not there anymore,
And there is GRIEF.
✨
The world as you know it has changed,
it’s crumbling and shape-shifting before your eyes.
You are scared, uncertain.
You awake heavy and unsettled,
Because there is GRIEF.
✨
You feel angry or frustrated or disappointed - or all three together.
This is not how you pictured your days.
And now everyone is telling you that you have to find a “new normal.”
But you liked the “normal” you had.
There is GRIEF in that.
✨
None of this feels fair.
It is not what you planned in this season.
Everything feels hard and scary and stressful,
Full of anxiety,
And too many unknowns.
Where is the 3-step solution?
There is GRIEF in that too.
✨
So feel your fear.
Allow disappointment.
Be sad and anxious and worried.
Sit with it.
Then sit with it longer.
Get as quiet as you can.
It’s ok to feel it, to speak it out loud.
Then, in the quiet, let it speak to you.
It has something to say, I promise.
And there is HOPE in that.
