grief is a process

Today, I am grateful for the family I've built. My soul sisters know how to show up for me and they do without question every time I need them usually before I even have a chance to ask.  

I am learning what my grief process looks like. Understanding how the stages surface for me, helps me to better support myself through them. 

I accomplished giving myself what I need to grieve. I let myself sleep for twelve hours last night and gave myself the space to cry this morning. Grief is a process, it's up to me to make room to heal. 

I delighted in exchanging messages with people I love, in embracing the spectrum of human emotion throughout the day, and in crossing the few things off my list before family visits, and in receiving a video of my friend's baby boy that warmed my heart.
