How the f*** are we supposed to “go back to normal” after we have just experienced a life-changing loss? Our world stops yet, time keeps ticking away. The world keeps going on without us as we watch from the sidelines. Grievers are asked TOO often to put on a mask for the outside world and pretend everything is ok. Know that it’s normal to feel like a zombie or to numb-out on auto-pilot.
In this episode, we layout all the difficulties of having to go back to normal after the initial loss and provide 5 different tools to add to your “going back to normal” toolbox:
1. Be transparent with people who can be on your side.
2. Protect your peace by having a list of pre-written responses you can “copy and paste” when people ask you questions that are inconsiderate or ignorant.
3. Find how YOU like to self soothe: walks, yoga, etc.
4. Don’t feel guilty for choosing you & speaking your truth.
5. KNOW YOUR WORTH & that you deserve grace & space to heal.
