A Love Letter to Grievers in the Midst of Coronavirus
Credit: pexels.comHi there, my beautiful Grief Growers —
The world is totally wigged right now. People are getting sick, and yes, people are dying because of coronavirus. It’s a strange time to be alive (side note: we’re only three months into 2020?!)… and it’s also a strange time to be grieving.
I don’t have any words to fix what’s going on or alleviate the swirling anxiety about the state of things. All I can say right now is that THIS FEELS A LOT LIKE GRIEF....

I am so delighted this article was helpful to you, Patty. Thank you so much for reading! It’s so hard when friends/family shut down grief because the person was not “good.”

I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of Késhia.
I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of Késhia. You depict her so incredibly well. Thank you for speaking to the larger cultural grief of black lives gone too soon. There is so much systemically to push back against when it comes to this ancestral — and yet still wildly current — unacknowledged grief. My love to you and your circle. ♥

Hi Cherry, I’m so sorry for what you’re going through.
Hi Cherry, I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I did a podcast episode on having trouble sleeping while grieving that you can find here: http://www.shelbyforsythia.com/podcast/16
I would also suggest finding a grief coach, counselor, or Grief Recovery Specialist (like me!) in your area that can help you unpack all of the “mind-circling” that can keep you from sleeping.
