Healing from trauma requires self-compassion and feeling for ourselves. Mourning paves the way to increased vitality and connectedness.

When someone we love dies, sadness is the healthy biological response to our loss. We cannot just ‘get over it’ or ‘suck it up’.

I lost five members of my family over these past four years and it was devastating.
