Show Notes

In today’s episode, I’m going to share with you a quick guide I use in coaching grieving mothers.

Our emotions in grief are just like the ocean with waves that come and go. There are small waves and insanely big waves. Blocking our emotions is just like putting a dam that will explode at any time. I want you to allow it to flow freely in your body.

Points to remember:

  •   Curiosity – Get curious as to your grief journey and instead of judging it. When we let go of judgment, so many changes.
  •    Awareness-  Becoming aware of the patterns you are living in your life and with your grief. It might be a pattern of guilt and sadness. You need to retrain your brain and change that pattern.
  •   Re-learning – We need to re-learn our emotions. Hiding and not dealing with it in a healthy way may lead you into becoming bitter, hurting yourself or others.
  • Releasing - It might be very difficult to do but we need to let go of guilt.It will be lighter and easier in your own perfect time.
  •  You -  Loving yourself and caring for yourself is far from selfish, but a beautiful gift that builds and magnifies to those around you.
