In the wake of the election, many of us are experiencing deep, unexpected emotions—feelings that echo grief. 😔 For some, the news triggered a range of responses from frustration and sadness to numbness. This video delves into how we can process these emotions, recognizing them as valid responses to a collective loss.
🔹 What Is Grief Beyond Personal Loss?
Grief can be triggered by any unexpected outcome—when the future looks different than we’d hoped. We often associate grief with personal loss, but it also appears when we face setbacks in things we identify closely with, like our nation and its values.
🔹 Navigating Emotional Responses
From anger to resignation, it’s natural to feel a mix of emotions. You're not alone in these feelings, and it’s okay to take time to process in your own way.
🔹 Techniques for Finding Peace
I share a calming breathing technique to help clear the mind during anxious moments. It’s a grounding exercise that can ease the restless thoughts that often come up in times of uncertainty.
🔹 Community & Connection
Now, more than ever, connecting with others who understand your experience is essential. Last night, I found solace with a group who gathered for a mediumship event. Just being with like-minded people—without discussing politics—brought an incredible sense of peace. 👥✨
As we face this challenging time together, remember that grief is a journey, not a destination. There’s no “right” way to process. Be gentle with yourself, and if you need a supportive community, consider reaching out below or joining us for future events. 💬
