You think you have it bad well at least?

You think you have it bad, I have been through worse than you

In this episode, I dive into the saying, “At least”, "You think you have it bad?" "Your life isn't that bad."

A loss is a loss and it deserves compassion and healing, attention and empathy. It doesn’t matter what you have been through. There are people they may have had it worse than you, but does that mean you can’t be sad or upset? No. Comparing yourself to others’ experience does not mean you are not worthy of healing. The truth is, losing someone or something is still sucks, it deserves healing. Give yourself permission to heal because what you have gone through matters.

In this episode, Brene Brown’s work was mentioned.

A Call to Courage

Why should we ignore the feeling of love or being loved by the loss of something?

Grief is like any emotion, it comes and it goes. It is a signal that tell us we loved. Grief comes out of nowhere and unexpectedly which can be overwhelming, catches your off guard and can make us feel vulnerable. Sometimes these moments happens on an ordinary day, on holidays, while driving, or at the grocery store. Here, I share a personal story and moments when I have experienced grief unexpectedly about my fathers that you can relate to. 

The Main Takeaways:

Embrace these feelings and feel

Allow yourself to feel and don’t ignore it or stay busy to hide your emotions

Take a deep breath

Grief shows we loved or have been loved someone or something

Grief can be a positive thing because it reminds us of memories that once were ordinary are now significant and the importance of human connection.

We loved a beginning and an ending. We are going to witness the ending of a beginning. Unfortunately, some of these are people.
