Embracing the Void - Grief Coaching

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the lungs are the primary organ associated with grief, sadness, and melancholy. Grief is believed to consume or stagnant the body's energy (Qi), affecting the lungs' ability to function, which can lead to fatigue, shallow breathing, and low immunity.
I remember feeling like I couldn't BREATHE and its a normal thing. Because you truly can't. 😔

These are not in order. Grief does not follow an order

The stages of grief, most famously described by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, are a framework of common emotional responses to loss, including denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. These stages are not linear and individuals may experience them in any order, revisit stages, or not experience all of them..

The 7 Stages of Grief in Detail
Shock/Disbelief: The initial paralysis, numbness, or inability to grasp the reality of the loss.
Denial: Attempting to protect oneself from the overwhelming emotions by refusing to accept the truth, often accompanied by confusion or forgetfulness.
Anger: As pain sets in, anger may be directed at oneself, others, or a higher power, representing the frustration of the situation.
Bargaining: Attempting to regain control by making deals (often with God or a higher power) to postpone or reverse the loss.
Guilt/Depression: Intense feelings of sadness, loneliness, or self-blame, recognizing the full impact of the loss.
The Upward Turn/Reconstruction: Beginning to rebuild one's life, trying new routines, and finding that the intense pain starts to lessen.
Acceptance and Hope: Accepting the new reality, finding meaning, and looking forward to the future, even if sadness is still present.

Note: Everyone grieves differently, and people may not experience all stages, or they may move through them in a different order or revisit stages multiple times.

Anger is such a weird part of grief cause you want to hurt anyone who ever caused any type of emotional or physical pain to your loved one. And it's real anger. Deep dark anger that eats at you. Until you get mad at God and then at them for leaving you. Its so complex and so scary to be so mad at THE WORLD because you lost someone. But it's normal and healthy as you go through the process. I'm not mad at God anymore because I realize he didn't take him from me but that he's keeping him safe until I see him again one day. And I'm not mad at my dad anymore cause I know he would still be here if he could it just hurts that hes not and I wish i had been there and that's another feeling for another post though. 😢 But anger it is a real part of grief that comes and goes.

I will say that this is a hard season. Holidays are very very hard. It doesn't matter if your loss was a week ago or 3 years ago or even 20 years ago, holidays can be extra hard. Please take the time to sit and just breathe and feel your feelings. Don't forget the people you do still have here and enjoy what time you have with them. This is a hard time especially since it's supposed to be such a joyous season. It's so easy to pretend to everyone that you're ok and go through the motions and just make it through. But do more this season than just making it through! Be present and take all that grief you have and let it out when you are able in a safe calm place. It's OK to cry. It's ok to miss your old life. Is ok to FEEL. I pray that everyone going through something this season finds peace and joy and love even in a small moment ❤️ and you're not alone
