episode 37: The Brochure on Continuing Grief: Struggling Through Some Tough Days
This week I'm continuing my journey through the loss of Dallas, my cherished horse. Here we are, seven weeks later, unraveling the layers of grief that have enveloped my days. I explore the surreal void left by Dallas's absence, the haunting quiet of routines we once shared, and the tangled emotions that come with giving away some of the leftover horse supplies I still have. I was also just surprised that I became such a mess. When I say mess, I mean MESS. But these days are going to happen from time to time.
In this conversation, we confront the challenges of grief, emphasizing the necessity for patience and kindness towards oneself in these turbulent times. I divulge the personal strategies that provide me with a lifeline on the most trying days—immersing in my work, finding peace in the garden—and acknowledge the invaluable support from friends that lightens the load. I'm also reminded of my late friend Gina who passed away six years ago this month. Loss is loss, but it comes at different times, in different ways, and is processed somewhat differently each time. I hope that by sharing MY journey, I can help someone else who is going through the same thing.
