I have a lot of feelings in my life right now, but I am allowing myself to feel them. I made the mistake of not processing my grief when my mother passed away in 2022, and it affected my life greatly. Grief, anger, uncertainty, loss, sadness, and loneliness to name a few. The love of my life and partner of 23 years passed away on July 8th after a lengthy hospitalization. I had to pack up our life together and move after returning home. The amount of overwhelm I initially felt was unfathomable. Living in survival mode is awful. I found this community in August and attended the 3 day workshop, which helped change my perspective. I also have chronic migraine and am currently on day 3. My meds weren't helping enough, so I thought I would give this a try. It helped! Self care is important, and I need to get better at it. And so it begins! 🙂
