The Stages of Grief

Grief is a natural. But for some, the feeling of intense grief persists long after the loss and can make it feel *impossible* to integrate back into life in a healthy and meaningful way.

Seek support whether that's through grief groups, therapy or other resources. 🕊️💜Jonelle #grief #griefjourney #griefsupport #griefeducator #pancreaticcancer #griefandloss #posttraumaticgrowth | Jonelle Elizab
