I Can Stay With This Feeling
I am okay with not being okay
Are you?
I don’t feel the need to be better right away
Are you okay with that too?
It’s hard to grieve in our world because most people don’t know how to grieve. They just want you to be better, whatever better means. I won’t be better if I am not given the opportunity to grieve.
I know it makes people feel uncomfortable. Maybe I shouldn’t write about things like grief, sadness, or sorrow. But, we need to let this be normal too.
We are becoming a society that loves to be numb — not to feel. If you are one of those people, don’t be afraid to let the tears come. It is normal and healthy to cry if you feel sad or you have experienced a loss.
Thank you for reading!
