Hi lovely ladies,
It’s been a while since I’ve written here. I stepped back for a bit because I was dealing with my own season of sorrow, and it took me some time to breathe, process, and find my balance again. Today, I want to share a few personal thoughts about coping with sorrow, the kind that sits quietly in your chest and shows up when you least expect it.
Sorrow comes to all of us at some point. It might show up after losing someone you love, going through a breakup, or when life just doesn’t look the way you hoped it would. It can hit hard and feel like it will never end.
But the sorrow doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’ve loved deeply. It means you’ve cared. And now, your heart needs time to heal.
🌿 1. Let Yourself Feel It
Don’t push your feelings away. Cry if you need to. Sit in silence if that’s all you can do. The only way to heal is to let the emotions move through you. You’re not weak for feeling sad; you’re human.
☕ 2. Slow Down
When you’re hurting, even simple things can help, breathing deeply, taking a warm bath, sipping your favorite tea, or walking outside. Give yourself permission to rest. Healing takes time, and that’s okay.
💬 3. Don’t Go Through It Alone
Sorrow makes us want to pull away from people, but connection helps us heal. Reach out to someone you trust: a friend, a coach, a therapist. You don’t always need advice. Sometimes you just need someone who listens and understands. My best companion was my dog 🙂
🌸 4. Look for Meaning
With time, pain can become a teacher. Ask yourself, What is this experience showing me? Maybe it’s helping you see your own strength, or reminding you what truly matters. Even the hardest moments can bring growth.
🌈 5. Be Kind to Yourself
Healing isn’t quick or simple. Some days you’ll feel okay, and others you’ll cry again. And that’s perfectly normal. Be gentle with yourself. You’re doing the best you can.
💖 Remember
Sorrow doesn’t last forever. Little by little, the light comes back. You’ll laugh again, you’ll love again, and you’ll start feeling like yourself again. You’re so much stronger than you think, and this pain is not the end of your story. You’ll grow into a new version of yourself, with new experiences, new strength, and a deeper sense of who you are.
For me, the most important part was learning how to live with the sorrow. I didn’t try to run from it. I just did my best to move through my daily life while my heart was still crying on the inside. And now… I can honestly say I’m okay. Really okay.
