Proud To Be A Selfish Griever 030
TRIGGER WARNING: Whitney does share thoughts about suicide in today's episode. She shares this from her private journal to be transparent in speaking to other grievers about where she has been on her journey and what she's done to get through those hard days.
Why is Whitney proud to be a selfish griever? Because putting her needs first on her grief journey is what supported her, and she believes all grievers should be doing the same. Because what helped her may not help you, but that doesn't mean you can't find what does help you.
Soliciting advice from others, learning tools to help you and trying different things are all healthy ways to make progress on your grief journey. Trusting your intuition, gut, or heart to tell you what feels right for you is what will serve you best in finding a way to move forward.
We hope that all grieving mothers are being especially gentle and listening to themselves as we approach this beautiful but difficult holiday, Mother's Day, this weekend.
