After my husband, Ryan, died I was forced to come face to face with the physical, mental, and emotional effects of trauma and grief.  I was impatient and angry. I had brain fog. I dissociated. I had ruminations. I was easily startled. I had trouble eating and lost so much weight that I no longer could breastfeed my second son. I was exhausted no matter how much sleep I got. I became anxious and overstimulated by everyday tasks. I discovered that relief from the effects of trauma requires breaking the cycle of being in survival mode. It required teaching my body, mind, and spirit that my life wasn’t an emergency and that I was safe. This was the first huge step in reclaiming my life after my husband’s death because once I could stop reacting to everything in my environment I could start being proactive and find peace and a rhythm to my life again-something that trauma had stolen from me. Most importantly, I had to change my relationship with grief. I had to accept that the heartache of my loss would always be something I had to carry but that it could co-exist with joy and peace too if I permitted myself to experience the good in life. I had to learn to give myself so much grace and not punish myself for having bad days and needing more rest than I had ever needed before.  Death and the effects of a traumatic loss take so much. Here are some ways to empower yourself. If you need additional support, see below to connect about my upcoming widow's retreat, my 1:1 grief coaching, and books.  . . . . 💌DM
