Grief and Holidays
This time of year can be exceptionally difficult for people who have lost loved ones. Of course, that difficulty is not solely reserved for November & December. The depths of these feelings can resurface all year long prompted by birthdays, anniversaries, memories and more. For some reason, ringing in a new year seems to be one of the more difficult days for me surrounding the loss of my brother. It’s hard to celebrate starting a fresh page and moving forward knowing that certain aspects of my life and pieces of my heart remain in the past.
Healing Through Grief & Trauma
There’s no right way to grieve or to process the way your life has completely changed - it’s been a very difficult journey and what helped me the most was knowing and relating to other people who could somewhat understand what I was going through and were still themselves even after experiencing trauma.
