Christmas can feel hard when you’re grieving. You’re not doing anything wrong, you’re doing the best you can. Grieve in your own way. Choose what you can manage. Moments of joy don’t mean you’re moving on. Be kind to yourself 🤍 #GriefAtChristmas #LivingWithLoss

Grief is not a flaw to be ignored; it's love with nowhere to go. Being human means feeling deep emotions and forming bonds. When we experience loss, grief reflects those connections. And acknowledging grief honors what or who matters most.

We love September as the month of self-care. Embrace it with fantastic suggestions. Self-care isn't selfish—you can't pour from an empty cup. Join #SelfCareSeptember to be kinder to yourself and others. 🙏💕🌍

If you know someone who is grieving, don't hesitate to share a joyful memory of their loved one. By recounting your experiences, you show your support and can help your friend feel connected to the person who has passed away.

Paulo Coelho once said, "Never. We never lose our loved ones. They accompany us; they don’t disappear from our lives. We are merely in different rooms." When grieving, memories can help sustain the presence of those who are now physically absent in our lives. #LoveEndures #MemoriesLiveOn

How do I know if I am grieving properly?? There are no set rules to adhere to, no timetables to maintain, and no judgment to dread. Mourning is as unique as a fingerprint. Follow what nurtures your spirit.

"It's ok. It's ok to miss them. It's ok to cry. It's ok to laugh. It's ok to breathe deeply. It's okay to smile when you think of them. It's ok to function. It's ok to be angry. It's ok to be thankful. It's ok to love again. It's ok to remember. It's ok to hope. It's ok. It's ok. " Lexi Behrndt
