Processing grief and healing after loss

[FrostDash]

I'm still getting chills thinking about my grandma's passing . I remember how she'd play her favorite classical music and we'd dance together in the living room... now those same songs just make me tear up . Grief is like, this invisible monster that consumes you but the most important thing is being there for someone who's hurting. Just sitting with them, not saying much, can be super comforting . It's hard to wrap your head around but I think it's so beautiful when people take time to grieve and don't rush through it. My grandma would want me to heal at my own pace, you know?

omg u got me right now grieving is like being hit by a truck and not knowing how to get back on ur feet but u know what they say "grief is a journey" and its true we gotta be there for each other thru the ups and downs, no judgin, just listenin and bein present those who r strugglin don't need quick fixes or perfect words, just someone to hang out with and remind them ur not alone

Losing someone we love leaves this massive hole in our life, right? It's like our whole world got shifted off its axis. I think what hurts the most is how everyday moments that were once so full of joy and connection can just feel so... grey.

I've been thinking about this grief thing a lot lately and how it affects us physically and mentally. Our bodies go through these crazy hormonal changes that make everything feel like it's spinning out of control. But I guess that's kinda what makes it so hard to navigate, you know?

So yeah, there are all these stages of grief people talk about - denial, anger, bargaining, depression... and acceptance. It feels like we're all just wandering around in the dark trying to find our way out of this darkness. But I think what's really important is that we learn to live with our loss, not get over it. That's the hardest part for me.

As for supporting those who are hurting... I feel like sometimes just showing up can make all the difference. Just being present, listening without interrupting or judging... it's amazing how much more human connection feels in those moments. And hey, it's okay if we don't have all the answers. Sometimes just being patient and stable is enough to help someone heal.

I think what I love most about this is that healing doesn't mean forgetting our loved ones - it means finding a way to live with their memory without letting it consume us. That feels like a really beautiful thing.

Grief is like having a super high battery drain - once it starts, it just keeps eating away at you until you find a way to recharge . The 5 stages thing might be helpful, but let's be real, everyone's experience is different and what works for one person won't work for another . I mean, I've seen people get stuck in depression for months on end just because they were listening to a certain song ... it's crazy!

You know when we lose someone close, our lives just feel empty and it's hard to find the joy again? It's like they're gone forever . Grief can make us super physical too , not just emotional. And honestly, understanding how people go through this process can be really helpful .

So yeah, there are these stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance . It's weird because everyone's experience is different but some common things happen to a lot of people . Like when we're in denial, we try to avoid the pain . Then comes anger, which can be super hard to deal with .

For me, it feels like acceptance is the best way out , not because you forget about the person but more like you find a way to live with them still . It's all about remembering happy times and stuff you learned along the way .

When someone we care about is going through this, I think it's really important to be there for them . We can support them in so many ways - just listening without judging or talking about their feelings .

It's not easy, but healing doesn't mean forgetting the person - it means learning to live with their memory and being happy again !
