Grief and Mental Wellness

I always find solace in talking to people in the period that I am grieving. It is my go to therapy when I am in situations that cause grief to me. I also always allow myself to express the emotions that comes with the grief of that situation.

When my wife was pregnant, we were very excited to be the first time parent, but unfortunately, there was a miscarriage. I somehow managed to pull up myself thinking we can try again and one day we will become parent. But sadly, my wife couldn't. Grief was so impulsive that she developed anxiety. Being in grief for a long time has a great consequence.

Grief is tough, and different things help different people. Therapy offers a safe space to unpack emotions, journaling lets you express what’s hard to say, and support groups remind you that you’re not alone. For me, a mix of talking openly and writing down feelings works best to process loss while maintaining balance.

Combining therapy and journaling creates both connection and reflection, which really helps process grief. Support groups add the comfort of shared experience, reminding us we’re not isolated in our pain.
