Grief Needs A Witness
A 4-Week Guided Support Program for Grief Healing
Friends, I wanted to dive into something that's close to my heart: grief, loss, and finding support.
It's a topic that's often overlooked, but so important for our emotional well-being; and in a world often filled with trials and tribulations, it's crucial to recognize and understand the multifaceted nature of loss, trauma, and tragedy.
I have a video (which I will link below), titled “Grief Needs a Witness,” that I aired following the tragic events in Lahaina, HI. As a longtime advocate for emotional wellness and support, I understood the pressing need for help during this extremely challenging time. There are multiple layers of grief, and it’s a complex process that isn’t always linear. My goal is to provide a lifeline for those navigating through grief's complexities, and offer guidance for a healthier journey forward.
Loss is a deeply personal experience, one that can take many forms. Whether it's saying goodbye to a cherished possession, losing a job, or grieving the passing of a beloved pet or family member, the pain cuts deep and is unique to each individual.
Comparing or ranking losses isn’t helpful and does more harm than good.
Every loss deserves validation and support.
From my own journey through grief, I've come to understand the distinction between loss, trauma, and tragedy. While some losses may be more peaceful, others involve suffering and unexpected pain. Traumatic losses, like sudden deaths or acts of violence, can add even more layers of complexity to the grieving process.
This is where support becomes essential.
Grief needs a witness—someone who can listen without judgment and offer a comforting presence. Expressing your emotions, whether through tears, anger, or writing, is vital for healing.
In the wake of grief, finding solace can be a daunting journey. Yet, every emotion you feel is valid, and every step you take towards healing is significant. As you navigate through the stages of grief—shock, denial, anger, and beyond—remember to grant yourself the compassion and space you deserve to move forward at your own pace.
It's okay not to be okay sometimes, and I'm here to guide you through it.
