The roller coaster of emotions can be exhausting! Feelings of happiness can turn to moments of despair instantly. Sadness can linger for long periods or sometimes happen unexpectedly when we are going about our day. Bittersweet memories can bring a smile and a tear simultaneously.

This confusion of emotions is natural when we are dealing with grief. Give yourself permission to feel. Suppressing your pain or feeling guilty when you have moments of happiness only contribute to your chaotic emotional state.

Whatever emotional highs or lows you experience today, give yourself grace to face them as part of your journey. You are not alone in experiencing them. There is no right or wrong way to grieve.
