Understanding Grief: It Comes in Waves
Grief is not a problem to be solved. It's an experience to be carried.
The Wave Metaphor
In the early days, the waves come crashing constantly. You can barely catch your breath. But over time, the waves become less frequent—though perhaps just as powerful when they arrive.
What to Do When a Wave Hits
- Don't fight it - Let yourself feel what you're feeling
- Find something to hold onto - A person, a memory, a breath
- Remember it will pass - No wave lasts forever
A Gentle Reminder
You don't "get over" grief. You learn to carry it. And some days, it carries you.
Take a moment. Breathe. You're doing better than you think.
