‘It’s ok if you thought you were over it but it hits you all over again. It’s ok to fall apart even after you thought you had it under control. You are not weak. Healing is messy. There is no timeline for healing’.

Grief exactly! Your grief can hit you when you least expect it, just when you thought you were coping and you understood your feelings and emotions. This is normal and part of you’re ongoing grief journey.
It’s important to feel supported when your grief turns up uninvited Find what works for you, practice some self-care, spend time with friends and loved ones or spend time alone. Whatever works best, do that and do it unashamedly.
