“I hope my grief lasts forever.”

How brave and vulnerable and amazing is that?

I love that mindset and openness to vulnerability.

Vulnerability isn’t weakness, it’s courage.

We try so hard to ‘get over’ things like grief and so-called negative emotions, but what we really need to do is embrace them and perform with them.

They are data – signposts for how to live openly and healthily.

Grief is love.

I want my grief to last forever because it’s the love I had, have and will have forever for the person or situations no longer in my physical life.

It is safe to live with grief and it can be beautiful when it is embraced and managed.

Grief is not just sorrow and sadness – it is love and beauty.

We have been conditioned to believe the narrative that grief is bad and sad and lonely. But it doesn’t have to be. A mindset shift gives it permission to mean love – and love can mean joy, tears and so many physical sensations and emotions.

The transition can be overwhelming, hard and uncomfortable but the choice to make that transition to be vulnerable and embrace those emotions into your life is empowering and safe.

Opening up to vulnerability in any situation and not just suppressing emotions is a huge step in becoming emotionally fitter and happier and performing as your best self.

… and I’ve got you by the hand when you need that support to guide you and help you perform.

This time of year is so hard for anyone experiencing grief, but I’m right here feeling with you.

Much love
