Healing from grief

It's considered common knowledge that you simply can't heal from grief after a death.

Why real healing work sometimes makes you uncomfortable, and why that's a good sign.

It takes active work to heal and this is something most people aren't ready for right after a death, when everything is at the surface and the experience can be very raw.

Worried something about you or your situation means you can't heal? There are only two conditions that matter.

A conversation with a friend after a recent death showed what grief can look like when you stay open to all of it.

Being "fine" after a death is far too low a standard. You can have nothing but love for them.

The idea that the immensity of your grief shows the immensity of your love for them is a belief I bump up against all the time.

Nobody wants to be remembered for the years they didn't live.
