Mourning a loss is a unique experience for every individual. At times, grief may bring feelings of isolation when we long to be connected to another. We may wish another's grief was more similar to our own, and when it isn't, we are surprised by emotions of betrayal or anger.
Honor and remember your strengths. Being unique in your grief can be peaceful and beautiful.
Open - Be open to your full experience, even through the pain.
Persevere and trust that your pain will ease over time.
Encourage yourself by identifying your courage and beauty in new ways.
This is HOPE: Honor-Open-Persevere-Encourage.
These components of HOPE will help you more peacefully accept your grieving process and that of others.
