“Sadness will show up in our lives. And what I realized and questioned for myself was: Do we really allow ourselves to fully grieve these losses? Or do we just push some of these aside and pretend we are okay? Do we share our feelings with others and look for support? Or do we hold it in and again, just pretend everything's okay? (...) Do we allow ourselves to fully move through it?”
Becoming an empty nester has not been easy for me and September has been a month of reflection and grief.
During this last week of the month, I have been deep in the feels, my friends, and I felt a pull and a call to come on here and share what's been happening with me and my reflections about grief, loss, and sadness. So, here I am in this real, raw, and vulnerable episode of Your Time Is Now!
In this episode:
- The week when it all really hit me
- The importance of crying and releasing your emotions
- Realizing I was holding in my grief over becoming an empty nester
- Hiding your feelings and pretending everything’s okay doesn’t help
- Finding people you can share your feelings with
- The power of sisterhood and community - The Sacred Circle
