As a bereaved mother, I know the need for and the healing that can come from intentional time and space to express, honor, and integrate grief.
Grief support can allow us to be witnessed with compassion and care, help us understand and express our feelings, reduce isolation, learn ways to care for ourselves and others while grieving, integrate pain with love, and find meaning after loss.
How we relate to the losses, grief, and trauma we experience in our lives impacts our well-being on every level.
Grief can underlie other mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, insomnia. We know that not all grief involves trauma. But all trauma involves grief.
