@brookeweinstein: Grief doesn't care that you've got to function as a parent. It moves through you on its own timeline. Some days I was on the floor crying. Other days I was dancing with my kids, building puzzles, showing up for life. Your nervous system holds both. The pain and the joy. The exhaustion and the moments of lightness that feel strange because they exist alongside loss. Healing doesn't mean the grief goes away. It means your body learns it can hold the weight without staying in survival mode forever. You can cry and laugh in the same breath. You can be heartbroken and still functioning. You can feel heavy and still show up. When you're grieving, your system is doing everything it can to process what feels impossible to process. And some days that looks like rest. Other days it looks like living. Both are part of moving through it. I've helped hundreds of people rebuild after loss. Finding your way back to a new normal, where loss is a part of you, but it doesn't overtake you. #grief #griefjourney #nervousystem #traumarecovery #widowhood
