Grief is a natural state of emotion of loss. We recognize that you can grieve a death, loss of a job, loss of a relationship, and many more. Grief is an emotion we all face at one time or another in our lives and is completely natural. However, being natural does not make it easy. While we may never truly get over the loss of a loved one there are steps to be taken that can help you process grief and make life a little easier.
At Journey to Healing, we specialize in grief! Our goal is for you to grow through your grief through coping skills.

Yoga
Grief is emotional stress that we store within the body and overtime those emotions can help bring us down. Yoga is one way to help loosen that tightness without having it all unravel at once. Yoga allows your mind to soothe yourself by providing mental self-care and at the same time physical activity which is also important for releasing pent up stress or anxiety.
Getting Enough Sleep
Sleep can be difficult when you are going through a grief cycle. This is because your mind is filled with thoughts about the loss. For starters it is important to create an environment to induce sleep. Use dark or calming colors or black out curtains. Essential oils, a white noise machine, and mood music can all help. If all else fails, cuddling up to a loved one like your spouse or pet are shown to fulfill the need for security and comfort.
