I think we need better conversations around loss-- not just conversations about how to cope but also how to live and show up for ourselves again fully. Especially in these mind blowing times where most everyone you know has been personally affected by death. Coping to me is existing in spite of the void. I want to find a way to feel full inside like I did before.
We often rely heavily on our patterns of overthinking. We languish in anxiety and insecurity that does not allow room for finality in our circumstances. We must learn to accept finality in ourselves, our circumstances, and others.
Acceptance is the key to releasing any negative emotion. We humans have an interesting relationship with acceptance. We are primarily under the delusion that acceptance means there is no room for change, versus the reality that acceptance is the pathway for change.
