Grief isn’t linear. It moves in waves and can come and go over time, and you can feel it in the mind and the body.
It can feel like emotional ups and downs, numbness, heaviness, overwhelm, or feeling stuck. In the body it can show up as tension, fatigue, tightness, or just feeling really drained.
Bowen therapy supports the nervous system when everything feels like too much. It’s gentle and helps the body come out of that stress state.
It doesn’t take grief away, but it can help the body feel a bit safer while you’re moving through it.
GPs, counsellors, psychologists, and grief support services can all help too. In Australia, Lifeline is 13 11 14 if you need immediate support.
If this is something you’re also seeing in your child, support is available through .au as well.
