Nobody told me grief had other names 💔
We think grief = losing someone.
But girl… that’s only ONE type.
Here are the 3 that actually keep you stuck:
1️⃣ IDENTITY GRIEF
Mourning who you used to be.
Before the breakup. Before the role. Before you had to be “strong”.
2️⃣ EXPECTATION GRIEF
The life you thought you’d have.
The partner who was supposed to show up. The family that was supposed to feel safe.
3️⃣ RELATIONSHIP GRIEF
Grieving people who are still ALIVE.
A parent who can’t love you the way you need.
A co-parent who chooses chaos.
The reason you feel stuck?
You might be carrying grief you don’t even have a name for yet.
Naming it doesn’t fix it.
But naming it means you can finally FEEL it.
And feeling it? That’s where healing starts. 💛
Save this if you needed to hear it.
Drop a 🤍 if one of these hit different.
