Teawater’s advice on grief is from our resident self-care expert. Teawater is inspired by my kitten Rusty, and you can read our story here. I hope he encourages you to make time and space for yourself everyday and see God is with you!

Grief is complicated and one of the most difficult experiences everyone has in common. Yet we don’t always recognize how grief feels. Understanding some of the unexpected, but normal, reactions will help begin the healing process.

I selected these quotes on grief to remind you that you are not alone. Stay encouraged as you see that others have traveled this painful path and are showing you the way to remain in hope for brighter days ahead. A sunrise follows every dark night. Treat yourself with kindness one day at a time.

Grief is a natural, yet complex, response to loss. Because our reactions, both emotional and physical, can be intense, it is essential that our self-care is patient in grief.
