A friend recently asked about what I’d learned f A friend recently asked about what I’d learned from grief. I did not give her a very succinct answer, but I think I could distill it down to a few things: Accepting that life is and will be difficult (thanks, therapy!) helps me move through the hard things rather than look for someone or something to blame. Experiencing big grief—like losing my dad and mother-in-law—helps me notice grief in lots of other places. Naming the smaller experiences with grief (instead of dismissing them) helps me know how to take care of myself in those moments. I think we’ve all had to grieve our visions for the future over and over again during the last year and a half. Grief is a universal experience. We may not all experience it in the same way, but it’s a tie that binds us in the human experience. I’ve formed really beautiful connections with others through shared understandings of grief. Grief has no destination… it’s a journey we’ll be on the rest of our lives. It ebbs and flows, it shifts, but it’s always going to be with us. It’s not something to fix, but something we learn to live with. Just today, I saw a box of Trader Joe’s brand oreos called “Joe Joes,” which left me with a pang of sadness while standing in the checkout line. My dad’s caregivers at his assisted living home affectionately called him Joe Joe. In summary, life is messy and complicated, so be kind to yourself and your fellow humans. 💙
