Feeling sad, anxious or mad? Not sure what you’re feeling?
We are all living through something we have never experienced before and there have been a lot of losses. Many of us are feeling a sense of grief because we aren’t able to do normal things we are used to every day, such as, celebrating milestones or participating in events we look forward to every year. You have a right to feel that sense of loss.
- The first step is to acknowledge this has been hard, these things are gone, and understand you are grieving those losses.
- Second, acknowledge that grief can look like crying, but it can also look like anger, anxiety, sleeplessness, hopefulness, changes in appetite moodiness and irritability. We need to allow ourselves to feel these emotions and grieve.
- Once you allow yourself to feel what you are feeling, then find healthy ways to express those feelings.
