Have you ever experienced grief? 

Or, if you’re like I was for the vast majority of your life and you ignore your feelings, maybe you haven’t experienced the actual emotion of grief, but; 

Have you ever had a major loss, like a pet, a grandparent, a parent, a job, etc? 

If so, me too, and I’m sorry. 

Grief is a motherf*cker. There’s no way around it. 

If you stuff it down, or try to just move forward by pulling on your bootstraps, it hides really well, but it doesn’t go away on its own. 

It can manifest with anger, depression, a lack of joy, anxiety, physical symptoms, and all sorts of other destruction in your life.

Death is such an uncomfortable topic, that we rarely talk about how to feel those feelings, process, and heal. 

But unfortunately, it comes for all of us and/or our loved ones sooner or later. 

The only way out is through, so it’s best to have some tools in our toolbelt to help us cope and carry on. 

In today’s episode of The Grit, Growth & Gratitude Podcast, I share one of the most powerful exercises that you can do to heal your heart after a loss. 

As I’m currently processing some grief from the death of my Mom a few months ago, I also share a specific real-life example of how exactly I’m using this tool currently to work through that in a healthy way. 

If you’ve had a broken heart or a broken dream, you’re not alone.
