Grief, is therea more complex emotion?

People talk about the stages of grief and the time when the pain will ease almost like it’s a simple step by step process. A task to be completed and ticked off.

It’s not simple, and the ‘steps’ are in no order, you move back and forth , numb, drifting, heartbroken. All these powerful emotions swirling around inside, engulfing you.

Nothing stops these emotions controlling you, rationale goes out of the window , there’s nothing to ease the agony. Everything is stripped of all meaning. All that remains is the painful knowledge of loss, the knowledge that no more memories will be made and shared. The knowledge that a part of you died with them.

There is no right or wrong way to navigate grief , you should utilise any support you have, if you have any.

Never let anyone invalidate your grief. Everyone should be able to mourn someone they love and care for.

Girl-Almighty
