🌙 GRIEF CAN TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY… 💜
I’ve been unwell for a week, and if I’m honest, my mood has been really low.
I am human and I will always be honest with you
When your body is poorly, sometimes your heart and mind feel it too. And suddenly, you find yourself revisiting moments in life that have broken a little piece of you.
The loss of trust. The loss of respect. The loss of friendships. And the heartache of losing people you love.
Isn’t it strange how, when we’re at our lowest, these things seem to become so much louder?
We carry them with us every day, often quietly, learning to live around the hurt. But when we’re feeling vulnerable, exhausted and emotionally drained, those old wounds somehow find their way back to the surface.
Perhaps it’s because we feel vulnerable.
Perhaps it’s because we miss the people we wish were still here to hold us.
Perhaps it’s because, when life feels heavy, we long for the people, places and moments that once made us feel safe.
Who really knows? 💔
But today, I had to give myself a massive kick up the arse and say…
“Come on, my girl. Pick yourself up. You’ve shed enough tears. You’ve survived enough heartbreak. Don’t forget how far you’ve come.”
And then I stopped and wondered…
Where did that voice come from?
And I realised something.
It came from the part of me that refuses to give up. The part that has been broken, hurt, disappointed and knocked down, yet somehow keeps finding the strength to carry on.
And I know I’m not the only woman who has that voice inside her.
Perhaps you have one too?
That little voice that whispers when you’ve cried enough. When you’ve questioned your worth. When you’ve missed someone so much it hurts. When you’ve wondered how much more your heart can take.
But please remember this, my lovely…
You don’t have to be strong every single day. You’re allowed to feel the sadness. You’re allowed to miss people. You’re allowed to grieve the people you’ve lost, the relationships that changed you, and even the parts of yourself you’re still trying to find again.
Just don’t mistake a difficult moment for a defeated life.
Sometimes, we don’t need to pull ourselves together. We simply need to give ourselves the same love, patience and compassion we so freely give to everyone else.
So, if you’re feeling a little broken today, take a breath. Rest your weary heart. Be gentle with yourself.
And when you’re ready, listen for that little voice inside you.
The one that says, “Come on, my girl. We’re not finished yet.” 🌙💜
Love & light, Sharon xx
