Permission To Grieve

Grief is hard, but living trapped in unacknowledged grief is worse. Jackie is a Medical Resident in her final year who is struggling with ambiguous grief. Nobody has died, but she has been suffering on her recent shift in Obstetrics & Gynecology. If you’ve been struggling with anxiety or chronic stress you might relate to Jackie, and perhaps you will realize, that it could be related to your unmet need to grieve lost hope. Please be gentle with yourself. Give yourself the psychoeducation, time and space you need to heal and process your grief.

Delayed Grief: It’s Never too Late to Process

Did you know that it’s very normal to experience delayed grief? Feelings of loss can bubble up inside us years after we thought we we were done grieving. Many of us experience it and have no idea that our current pain is linked to unprocessed grief. For most people, the grief process is a lifelong journey, one that doesn’t end at a prescribed time or milestone. Waves of painful emotions can kick up decades later, causing worry and confusion, when you have never learned that grief is a normal part of life.
