Grief Tip

Another tip from Dr Wolfelt’s “Healing Your Holiday Grief” today...

BE COMPASSIONATE WITH YOURSELF •Don’t judge yourself or set your expectations too high. Be kind to yourself. •The journey through grief is a long and difficult one. It is also a journey for which there is no preparation. •Be compassionate with yourself as you encounter painful thoughts and feelings. Self-compassionate in grief is essential year-round, but especially during the emotionally-fraught holidays. •Let your grief be what it is. And let yourself-your new, grieving self-be who you are.

It is so important to take care of you and your true needs. Don’t try to measure up to any expectations you have placed on yourself or feel others have of you.
