Who am I? (After this loss...)
Have you ever looked in the mirror after a deep loss and felt like a complete stranger to yourself? 🤍
Grief is so much more than sadness. It is a profound, soul-shaking experience that completely rewrites how we move through the world. When we are in the thick of it, every layer of our being feels different:
Physically: Our bodies can feel heavy, slow, and deeply tired. The vibrant energy we used to have feels temporarily dimmed.
Emotionally: We might find ourselves withdrawing from the people and hobbies we used to love. The joy feels out of reach, and our patience—for others and for ourselves—runs thin.
Spiritually: The anchors that used to bring us comfort might suddenly feel distant, leaving us feeling ungrounded.
When grief is this big and consuming, of course, you are going to change. It is completely natural to whisper, "I don’t even know who I am anymore."
Our society loves quick fixes, but it rarely holds space for the quiet, messy "not knowing." Yet, this tender, uncomfortable space is where true transformation happens. You aren't broken; you are blooming through the dark.
If you feel like you are drowning or lost in a deep fog right now, remember that you don't have to force your way out. The body always knows the way.
Practices like Spinal Flow and Craniosacral Therapy offer a soft, nurturing space to help you come back home to yourself. By gently holding space for your body, mind, and soul, these modalities help soften and process the grief you’ve been carrying, guiding you back to your truest essence.
Be incredibly gentle with your heart today. You are doing the best you can. ✨
