Day 23: Breaking Down in Grief
Pearls of grief wisdom are sometimes in the oddest places—the grocery check-out person, the stranger on the sidewalk, a song in a youtube ad, and for me as of late, during some workout chatter (thanks, @robinnyc ).
Breaking down in grief is a way through. Letting yourself feel the parts of you that are now shattered in this and allowing for the acknowledgement of the implosion of one’s life is the first step to allowing the grief to move. And it is only when grief is given space to move that it will evolve and change and feel different.

Welcome to my second, 100-day project. I hope to provide a daily offering on something grief-related. I am a grief therapist and educator working with people in Oregon, Washington, DC, Maryland, and Maine. This feed is in honor of each person who has trusted me with their stories and wisdom during their grief journey. I hope that others may benefit from simple and straightforward talk about a topic that can be difficult.
