I've been cycling through the stages of grief, which I spent a good amount of time learning about, discussing, and helping others through as a social worker. But, it is one thing to assist others with this process; it is a completely different thing to be going through it yourself.
Luckily, I am fortunate enough to have an incredible family and an unbelievable community of friends, chosen family, and colleagues. I also truly believe that what one puts out into the world comes back to you a hundred fold. So, in the long term, I know I'll be okay because I work every day to put good out into the universe.
I am trying to look at this challenge as an opportunity for reflection and contemplation (hence the attempt at blogging). During this period of grieving and recuperation, I am also trying to spend lots of time with people and take care of myself: eating well, going on woodland hikes, reading books (just finished Doctor Sleep by Stephen King), gardening, visiting with friends, and continuing to be involved in social justice work.
