I love when the universe be like "here you go" and passes along gems like this. I led my grief group last night and we always come back to the conversation of grief being so hard to navigate and how it can feel easier to block yourself off from it entering. I feel like I'm old and new with my grief in many ways, but I learned the hard way that keeping it in and ignoring it does more damage than good. I love what you said about creating a good life as a baseline as another way to help you be patient with the grief when it arrives.

There's a lot of good things I pulled from this for my own relationship with grief, but I'm also sharing it with the folks in the Saddie Baddie Grief Gathering space, because they need to hear this too. So many people need to hear this. Thank you!
