Five Funerals and a Wedding

This week I was reminded how exhausting grief can be. Although I did not experience the death of a loved one this week, I did journey with five families who did. It drained my energy.
I once again became aware of the importance of self care in grief. Although it is the last thing one feels like doing, it is essential otherwise one cannot do the work of grief-and it is work.
A friend encouraged me to stop, to stop and to remember to feed my soul. What a gift her encouragement was to me. It got me through a very taxing week.
Stop. Breath. Discover what it takes to feed your soul.
