Grief is not a linear process. It’s a deeply personal journey that looks different for everyone. Some days, you may feel like you’re moving forward; other days, the weight of loss can feel just as heavy as the first.
💔 Myths About Grief:
❌ You should be “over it” by now.
✔️ Grief has no timeline. Healing is not about “getting over” loss, but learning to live with it.
❌ Grief follows five clear stages.
✔️ While stages of grief exist, they don’t happen in order—and you may experience them multiple times.
❌ If you’re not crying, you’re not grieving.
✔️ Grief shows up in many ways—emotionally, physically, and even spiritually. Everyone processes it differently.
