This morning I had the thought that gravity is Mother Earth embracing us to herself when we cannot embrace one another, we are still her children and are held by her. #weareheld #theearthisourmother #getoutside #beautyallaround #joyeidsecounselling

https://saharnawaz.ca//21-journal-prompts-quarantined-edi/ Got this from the above address (this is me trying to figure out how to share from Pinterest and give credit to source:). These days have been intense for many of us. I found these prompts helpful in acknowledging the chaos, the goodness and the sadness. #bewell #loveandpeacetoyouall #dontgiveup #joyeidsecounselling

Crying in public is #perfectlynormal in grief. Everyday life is full of grief landmines. Tears suddenly flow in the most ordinary moments or for no clear reason... at all. Sometimes the most mundane activities can be the most upsetting. Take a minute to take a breath, one good inhale/exhale, and check in with yourself. Give yourself what you need in that moment. If that means abandoning your shopping cart or not getting out of your car and driving back home, that's OK. While we're on the topic, not crying is perfectly normal too. Grief looks like a lot of different things. Some people cry all the time, some never do, and then there's a vast in-between. Every expression of grief is valid. How about you? Have you experienced sudden bouts of crying at unexpected moments? How did you handle it? The more we talk about this stuff, the more people realize they're not alone.

Good reading coming up this week. #somuchtolearn #lovereading #polyawareness #joyeidsecounselling
