A gentle reminder for hearts that are hurting Grief is not something you “fix.” It is something you slowly learn to live with, breathe with, and carry in your own quiet way. Some days you may feel strong. Other days, simply getting out of bed may feel impossible. And that’s okay. There is no perfect…

Read More “10 Things You Must Never Do While GrievingA gentle reminder for hearts that are hurting Grief is not something you “fix.” It is something you slowly learn to live with, breathe with, and carry in your own quiet way. Some days you may feel strong. Other days, simply getting out of bed may feel impossible. And that’s okay. There is no perfect way to grieve—but there are a few gentle boundaries that can protect your heart as you move through this painful season. Here are ten things to be mindful of as you grieve. 1. Don’t force your feelings to stay hidden You do not have to be brave all the time. Tears are not weakness—they are the language of love and loss. If you need to cry, cry. If you feel angry, confused, or numb, let those feelings exist. Your emotions deserve space. 2. Don’t rush yourself to “be okay” Healing has no deadline. Some wounds take longer to soften, and that doesn’t mean you are failing. You are allowed to take your time. One slow breath at a time is still progress. 3. Don’t walk through this completely alone Wanting quiet and solitude is natural—but disappearing from everyone can deepen the ache. You don’t have to talk about your pain if you’re not ready. Just sitting with someone who cares can remind you that you are still held in this world. 4. Don’t measure your grief against anyone else’s Your pain does not need to look like anyone else’s to be real. Some people cry loudly. Some grieve in silence. Some collapse. Some keep going. All of it is valid. Your grief is yours alone. 5. Don’t try to numb the pain away It’s tempting to escape what hurts—but temporary numbness often creates deeper wounds later. You deserve real healing, not borrowed peace that fades and leaves more pain behind. 6. Don’t make life-changing decisions while your heart is breaking Grief can cloud your thoughts and pull you toward sudden choices. If you can, pause. Give yourself time before making decisions that cannot easily be undone. Let your heart steady first. 7. Don’t forget your body in the middle of the sorrow Grief lives in the body too—through exhaustion, loss of appetite, tension, and illness. Try, gently, to care for yourself. Drink water. Eat what you can. Rest when your body asks you to. Survival is enough for now. arrow_forward_iosRead more Pause 00:00 00:05 01:31 Mute Powered by GliaStudios 8. Don’t let others tell you how your grief should look Some people mean well but speak too soon. “Be strong.” “Move on.” “Everything happens for a reason.” You are not required to match their expectations. Your grief belongs to you. 9. Don’t turn the pain inward as blame Guilt often follows loss—but it does not mean you are at fault. You loved the best you could with the knowledge and strength you had at the time. That is enough. You are enough. 10. Don’t believe this pain is all your life will ever be Grief changes you forever—but it does not mean your story ends here. One day, the memories will still hurt, but they may also begin to warm you again. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means learning how to carry love without bleeding from it. A Gentle Closing Thought If you are grieving right now, please remember this: You are not broken. You are hurting because you loved deeply. And that kind of pain speaks of a heart that once held something precious. There is no finish line. No perfect recovery. Just small steps, taken gently, in the direction of light. And even on the days you feel lost— You are still moving forward.” »
