Lill’ Bits:
You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.
Life after loss is different than life before.
It will always be different, there is no “returning to normal”.
Routines will be different, holidays will be different, family gatherings will be different, and you will be different.
Instead of pushing yourself to move on and return to the way it was - give yourself grace and space as you become acquainted with your new reality.
Little Levity:
When I need a break I watch The Office. I’ve seen this show so many times the characters feel like friends. When life is overwhelming I’ll flip it on in the background to give myself a temporay reprieve.
I teach my clients how to incorporate distraction tools when their emotional waves are too strong and they need a break from swimming. While suppressing your emotions is unhealthy, its okay if you need a little levity to get through the big waves.
Laughter is great medicine.
This line from Michael Scott always brings a smile to my face.

The risk of love is loss, and the price of loss is grief—but the pain of grief is only a shadow when compared with the pain of never risking love.
