I appreciate you sharing this and am so proud of you, too. I know how vulnerable this feels — and you’re helping so many (including me) feel seen and less alone. Love you ♥️

I don’t want to write a whole novel here, but this really landed for me. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am so sorry you have had to go through this. You are so right in saying that some days come with peace and acceptance and smiles and some pull you back a few years and into a hole of grief.

My therapist (angel bb) worded it in a cool way- you can picture your grief in little jars set up on a shelf. Most of the time, they just sit there quietly. Sometimes you have to take one down and open it up for a moment. Feel it, process it, add new thoughts and experiences to it, growth etc. Then you put it back on the shelf. It will never leave the shelf… but it might sit dormant for longer. That really helped me. ❤️

Healing is slow and not linear but it happens. (A really cool band has a lyric about that one that got me through the worst of my days. ✨)
