GRIEF & LOSS
Grief Isn't Something You Get Over

REFRAME ONE
Grief Is Not a Problem to Solve
Grief is not a wound that closes on a timeline or a feeling you should have already moved past. It's a natural response to loss — one that asks for space, not speed, and presence, not pressure.

What We're Often Told About Grief
1
That there are stages you must complete in order, and if you're still grieving, you're somehow stuck or doing it wrong.
2
That healing means returning to who you were before the loss, as if grief should leave no trace on your life or your body.
3
That talking about the loss or feeling the weight of it means you haven't let go or moved forward yet.

REFRAME TWO
The Weight Changes Shape Over Time
Grief doesn't disappear — it becomes something you learn to carry differently. What once felt unbearable may soften into tenderness, memory, or quiet presence. The loss remains real, and so does your capacity to hold it.

Integration Means It Becomes Part of You
Integration is not forgetting or moving on. It's allowing the loss to become woven into your story without consuming all of it. You can hold grief and still feel whole and true. If you're in crisis, you're not alone — in the US, call or text 988.

Your Body Holds Grief Too
Grief lives in the body — in tension, exhaustion, or numbness. Creating space for the body to process and release what feels stuck is part of honoring the loss. You are worthy of support that meets you where you are.
