Shared Experiences!♡

by Sunisshiningandsoareyou

February 26th

...See more Hey hey, everyone coming across this post. I hope you're doing well. 💛 Grief and loss, is something I feel most of us have experienced in different forms, with varied intensity of emotions, thoughts and emotional reactions to it. As earth-shatteringly difficult it is to experience loss of some kind and do not even get me started on loss of a love one hehe (oh but I definitely will come here too💛), or cope with it, I feel something that remotely, I say remotely because I'm not much of the opinion that anything ever truly helps or fills the void in your life and the hole in your heart! (Much love to you if you feel the same and Kudos to you if you found something that helped you in any way💛). Again, I feel something that *remotely* helps is that we aren't alone in our experiences! It's not like "seeing someone else in pain makes you feel better about yours", more like "seeing someone feel what you do, say what you cannot and understand what you find incomprehensible somewhere, somehow, in whatever small quantity possible too, makes you feel *seen*, makes your pain feel seen, reminds you that what you experienced is 'worthy' of a reaction from you, also helps you understand your feelings better, because sometimes you're not even sure what to really call that 'sudden feeling of a big lump forming in your throat when you're sitting around people giggling and doing their thing' when everything feels 'okay' around you". (Apologies for getting carried away haha, I'm not proof-reading this one, and it's just something straight from my heart, hopefully to yours, typos included😅) Anyway, circling back again, what I find remotely helpful is the idea of shared experiences, of people connected in their grief! Which is why I love reflecting on how someone perceives loss and grief for them, hearing what they have to say about it too! Sometimes it's these shared experiences, heart felt words and raw emotions that remind me I'm not alone, and a lot of times, this is comforting to know! Going forward, I'd like to share some quotes I find comforting with the hope that anyone coming across them here can have a little "oh you see it too?" moment, knowing they aren't alone either and someone has had experienced something as they have and stood by to share it with the world also. The massive amount of courage it takes to talk about it, to relive all of it all over again, to be *brave* for comforting someone else! Most people may not even realise how inspiring they are! 💛 Please feel welcome to share any quotes you like that provide you comfort or reflect on any you see here also! 💛

Grief and Loss Support Check-in *March 3 ~ March 10 2025*

by CaringEzra

2 hours ago

...See more Grief and Loss Support Check-in March 3 ~ March 10 2025 Hello, lovely grief and loss support community! Welcome to our weekly check-in. How are we all doing? I hope that the week is being gentle to you and you find time to take care of yourselves. I often hear the phrase that you have to move on or get over grief, but i'm not sure that we actually do (if you don't relate that's okie!) Grief doesn’t have a finish line. It doesn’t expire after a certain number of months or years. I think sometimes people expect it to shrink until it disappears, like a wound that fully heals. But for me, it’s more like learning to live with a missing piece.The world keeps moving forward, and in some ways, I do too. I laugh, I make new memories, I experience joy. But that doesn’t mean I’ve left my grief behind. It lingers in unexpected moments, a song playing in a store, a joke they would have loved, an anniversary I wish I didn’t have to mark. It’s shaped into who I am, shaping how I see the world, how I love, how I carry others with me. I will always miss them. I will always love them. And I think that’s okay. Grief isn’t something to "get over." It’s an extension of love, and love doesn’t have an end. Sorry for the ramble 😛 Whatever you are feeling, it's welcomed and valid here. I am always here for you and you are not alone. Please reach out if you need anything at all, You are loved and cared about truly. I wish you all an amazing week ahead. <3 •───────•°•❀•°•───────• I would love to welcome you to participate in some reflection questions! Our weekly check-ins are an opportunity to get to know each other a little bit better and offer continual support. Feel free to answer as many or as few as you would like. Also, feel free to share anything on your mind or just say hi! Whatever you post; we eagerly await your response! •───────•°•❀•°•───────• Here are some reflections for the week ❀ How are you doing? Highs? Lows?❀ ❀ In what ways has grief shaped you or perspective on life❀ ❀ What is one thing you would do if you had the superpower of invisibility? ❀ •───────•°•❀•°•───────• We hope you all have a wonderful week. I look forward to hearing everyone’s responses, and please don't hesitate to reach out for support.

...See more Grief and Loss Support Check-in March 10 ~ March 17 2025 Hello, lovely grief and loss support community! Welcome to our weekly check-in. How are we all doing? I hope that the week is being gentle to you and you find time to take care of yourselves. I think that this week's reminder is that no matter how long time passes, it's okie to still grieve. Grief comes in waves and sometimes it comes up very unexpectedly. This week it's gonna be my birthday, and it's so hard knowing that it's another year, another milestone that they are not here for. It brings a wide range of emotions for me. So when you feel this way, I hope you give yourself some grace and patience. Whatever you are feeling, it's welcomed and valid here. I am always here for you and you are not alone. Please reach out if you need anything at all, You are loved and cared about truly. I wish you all an amazing week ahead. <3 •───────•°•❀•°•───────• I would love to welcome you to participate in some reflection questions!

I look forward to hearing everyone’s responses, and please don't hesitate to reach out for

Space to talk about your loved one

by CaringEzra

9 hours ago

...See more Hey lovelies, I hope you are all doing well! Today I wanted to give you all a space to talk about your person. I don't know if you have noticed but other people sometimes get weird after someone dies! And I totally get it, we don’t know what to say, but in an effort to not wanting to bring up emotions, they never bring up the person that has passed and it can be awkward to bring it up yourself. Now everyone's experience is different, but for some, including me, I want to keep my dad and friends' memories alive. I don't want to forget them. There are times that I want to talk about them, to share their name, how much I love and miss them, and to talk about who they are as a person. Not everyone has a person or a safe place where they feel comfy talking about their person. So here is your safe space. Tell us about your person. If you are feeling stuck here are some questions to get you started! Pick three! Or answer as many as you would like: ❤️ What was your person's name? 🧡 What activities did you enjoy doing together? 💛 What's your favorite memory of your person? 💚 What were they like? 💙 What were their favorite foods? 💜 What did they believe/ care about most? ❤️ What was something they were really good at? 🧡 What do you miss most about your person? 💛 What is something they taught you that you still carry with you? 💚 What were their favorite songs, books, or movies? 💙 How did your person die? 💜 What were your last moments together like? ❤️ Is there anything you wish you told them? 🧡 How was your favorite day spent together? 💛 How would you describe their personality in three words? 💚 If you could spend one more day with them what would you do? 💙 What has been the hardest part of living without them? 💜 What do you love most about your person?

gut feelings or manifestation?
