G is for Grief
“No one escapes grief.”
Opening up to the possibility that there are various types of grief is important for healing. “When we can recognize and name what’s going on emotionally inside of us, we can be kinder to ourselves during the process,” California-based therapist Skylar Ibarra, MSW, LCSW, tells Health. “Once they were able to see their grief for what it was, they were able to start healing,” she says. ~ Grief Doesn’t Just Happen After Bereavement
The Anger Underlying Grief — Keeping the Fires Burning
We see new expressions of anger every day. To be fair, there’s plenty of fuel to keep that fire burning, amplified by the 24/7 news cycle coming at us through myriad platforms designed to keep us in this state of outrage.
