What happens when other people's understanding of your experience stops being necessary for you to trust your own?
In Part 1, we explored disenfranchised grief—what happens when a loss doesn't receive the recognition, understanding, rituals, or support we typically associate with grief.
In Part 2, we're turning inward.
I'm looking back at some of the things I taught earlier in my own healing—and why I needed certain beliefs to be much more black-and-white then than they are today.
We'll talk about protecting new beliefs while they're still fragile, the difference between protection and confinement, what it means when grief knocks you over again, and how our relationship with being misunderstood can evolve as we do.
Because healing isn't about building a life where nobody ever questions, misunderstands, or activates something in you.
It's about becoming increasingly able to have your own back when they do.
And eventually, sharing your experience can become a choice instead of a plea.
