It's Okay to Grieve...

Compassion means relating kindly to yourself and others during times of suffering. When we compare and despair no one wins... it only causes more isolation and disconnection. Instead, we acknowledge that each person’s experience is valid and unique, and yet each person’s feelings are valid and universal.

It’s okay to grieve all the losses, no matter how big or small... because grief is “the conflicting feelings that come at the end of or change in a familiar pattern of behavior”... and also “the loss of hopes, dreams, or expectations,” according to The Grief Recovery Institute.

Without judgment, what are you grieving?
