Grief comes in waves is an age-old adage and from what I’ve come to observe is this is still truth. In its natural, uninterrupted state, grief is meant to oscillate from moments of engagement with that overwhelming pain, to moments of reprieve. The oscillation is what I believe to be our biology at work—our innate ability to grieve is already in us. The wave-movement of these different states is actually what allows for healing, and for our grief to evolve into something more bearable down the road.
