Grief can feel like a storm hitting without warning. If you're in the early days of loss, you may feel like you're simply holding on, gasping for air, and wondering if life will ever make sense again. π In this episode, we're diving into the **first 30 days of grief**, a time I call the "white-knuckle phase."
π What You'll Discover in This Episode:
- The unpredictable nature of grief and how it ebbs and flows like waves.
- Why your journey is as unique as your fingerprint (and why that's okay).
- Practical tips for surviving grief fog, managing expectations, and honoring your emotions.
- How to practice self-care when eating, sleeping, and basic tasks feel overwhelming.
- The power of leaning on support systems, from friends to organizations like Helping Parents Heal, Compassionate Friends, and more.
- Small yet meaningful rituals to bring stability to your day, such as journaling, lighting a candle, or taking a short walk.
π‘ Key Takeaway: Youβre not alone. Grief is deeply personal, but it doesnβt have to be a solitary journey. Take it one step, one hour, or even one breath at a time.
