Grief is dark and powerful and rears its ugly head with no warning. It isn't something to be afraid of, however. I embrace grief as a process, as a part of life. It hurts when it has its grips on you but will eventually release. I wish there was more honesty about grief as it doesn't have to be this horrible shame-causing experience. I have found grief to be freeing and life-changing; a good reason for self-care. There is life after grief.

On a side note, I am really enjoying After Life on Netflix. It's hysterical and moving all at the same time. I also highly recommend Sorry for Your Loss on Facebook Watch for anyone who has experienced profound loss. What I love about these shows is how they show that grief can be sad and funny at the same time and that we do recover.
