August 30th is a reminder that grief touches every one of us & that healing takes time, compassion, and support.
Grief isn’t linear, & there’s no “right” way to feel. Not everyone will experience the 5 stages of grief & they don’t always come in order.

Forever missed Always loved The grief I have from losing my son Dalton and my baby son Dodge I will carry forever #NationalGriefAwarenessDay
I've been in my feels about #NationalGriefAwarenessDay all day so I'm reposting these that resonated with me from IG
For many in the #braintumor community, grief starts at diagnosis.
Anticipatory grief is the feeling of loss, fear, and sadness that begins when you or a loved one has been diagnosed.
How do you experience anticipatory grief?

post by The Hospice Heart August 30th is National Grief Awareness Day Grief awareness shouldn't belong to just one day... but it is a reminder to keep showing up, to keep listening, to keep checking in with those we love, and to allow the same care for ourselves every single day. Someone asked me what grief feels like... I told her that some days it will take everything you have to get out of bed. You might go days without eating, without showering and you might sleep for days, or not sleep for days... grief is inconsistent. You will be sad, you will be angry and some days you will be both. Some days you might feel numb, or you might feel nothing at all. Some days you might cry and cry and cry... and then you will find yourself laughing, and almost feel a little guilty as though you should not be smiling or having fun, and god forbid you find reasons to laugh. And sometimes you wonder... will I ever smile or laugh again? But alas my friends.... grief is all of that. Imagine a lifetime with someone you love... the laughter, the smiles, the tears, the anger, the harsh words, the words of love and kindness... and even those moments where words are not spoken. Grief is all of that... it is all the feels, all the time, each day different. And the only thing you can do... is feel it all.
picture of a butterfly on flowers in a garden. Grief takes time... Grief is a process... Grief is all the feels, all the time, wrapped tightly around all the love you ever felt.. Grief is baby steps... Grief is the never ending box of tissues... Grief is something we all experience, but we do it differently, so it isn't for us to tell someone how to feel, or how long they will or should feel it. Just let them know they are not alone... and to feel... whatever they need to feel. Grief never goes away... just like our love for them.

💔 Grieving a cat? Your pain is valid. On #NationalGriefAwarenessDay, remember: love doesn’t fade with loss. Their pawprints stay forever. 🐾🌈 #PetLoss
![[A home] is the place where you can take a deep breath...where you have that psychological safety.
You have that physical safety, hopefully, that acceptance for who you are, and you can just be you...
There are very few other places where that is true.

On #NationalGriefAwarenessDay, we're thinking about the immense weight of losing "home".
Earlier this year, in the wake of the devastating LA fires, BHHI Director Dr. Margot Kushel joined KCRW to discuss trauma, resilience, and why our homes are integral to who we are. Listen: buff.ly/e1igDHf

Allow yourself the time you need to process the pain and sadness. It doesn't happen all at once. National Grief Awareness Day
Loss can be overwhelming. Acknowledging grief is vital for our mental health: buff.ly/ESKDIvJ #NationalGriefAwarenessDay
August 30 is #NationalGriefAwarenessDay
Everyone is affected by grief at some point in their life, and everyone grieves differently. It’s important to reach out to those who are grieving and offer your support in any way you can.
Together, we can ensure everyone knows they are not alone. 🕊️
On #NationalGriefAwarenessDay: 1 in 4 families face pregnancy/infant loss, yet support gaps persist. Our "Along With Me" app combines CBT with parent stories—early results show reduced PTSD symptoms. To bereaved parents: your grief is valid, you're not alone. 💙 #MentalHealth #Parenting #grief
Grief isn’t just emotional. It’s brutally administrative.
Forgotten passwords, mystery bills, hours on hold…
On #NationalGriefAwarenessDay, tell us:
🗂️ What did you have to deal with after someone died… that no one warned you about?
It might help the next person feel a little less blindsided.
#NationalGriefAwarenessDay recognizes the time it takes to heal from loss doesn't have a prescribed course.
