Everybody talks about cutting people off but nobody really talks about the grief that comes with having to stand firm on that decision, knowing it’s not what you wanted, but what was necessary for your well-being.

I’ve been learning about complicated grieving from my savvy Craniosacral Therapy/life coach. My mother passed away a year ago and there’s been some very painful fall out. It was comforting to hear that grieving is difficult for people regardless of the ease or difficulty of a relationship (and just because we’re family, dosen’t mean we’re able to see eye to eye. Such a tough one). Losing anyone in your life causes much emotional unpacking, and if it’s a friend, you don’t typically get support and comfort from people because it wasn’t a death per se. My coach also said that grieving is exhausting and so we really do need the time, energy and emotion to devote to the process. This can be a lengthy and winding road. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
