This is my way to handling grief 🤎

We all carry visions of what our lives should be like, but it doesn’t always turn out how we wanted.

I’ve been there too, staring at the gap between what I envisioned and what reality handed me, not sure of what to do next.

But what I learned along the way is that it’s okay to grieve those unmet expectations. To feel the sadness, the disappointment, even the frustration when life takes an unexpected turn.

I’ve found so much healing in talking about my feelings with someone I trust, writing them down, or even just letting them move through me during a quiet walk. We’re human, after all. It’s natural to mourn what we thought would be.

You can create something meaningful from what you have, even if it looks nothing like what you expected. Start with a new habit, a different perspective, or a moment of gratitude for the little things that do bring joy.

You don’t have to pick between feeling the loss or moving forward. You can hold both at the same time.
