Hey, Griever... are you aware of how your body is feeling?

Increasing your self-awareness of your body sensations is the first step to caring for yourself

Hey, Griever,

Just a quick encouragement to pay closer attention to your body this time of year. Carrying grief around during the holidays can be tough. How is your body doing? Tired? Sore? Depleted? Needing movement? Needing rest?

Then, once you know, take steps to take care of yourself.

Take good care,
Erin


Hi, I’m Erin, and I’ve been grieving since I took my first breath. Since I was born under the heavy cloud of anticipatory grief, I knew, in my bones, that I would outlive my older sister.

Gina had severe cerebral palsy. She needed constant care for even her most basic needs.

She died in 2016 at the age of 45. Now at 48, I am reaching ages my older sister never reached.

In my micro-memoir, “Awaiting the Call for 40 Years” (working title,) I share my lifelong experience of grief. My hope is that by sharing my own grief story, you feel less alone in your grief.

Thank you for supporting my work. And please know, Griever, that you’re not alone.
