Affirmations when Grieving
This really hurts
This pain is so challenging
At times I just don’t know how to manage it
I feel lost
I feel overwhelmed
I’m hurting and I’m numb at the same time
One moment I feel okay , the next I feel distraught
Something so random can make me crumble
I feel it It hurts
This is so hard
My head and my heart are not in the same place
I give myself time and space to grieve
I give myself time and space to mourn
I give myself time and space to cry
My emotions can be a mixed bag
But I have many options for facing my feelings
I can write a poem, a story, a journal entry
I can create a song, a painting, a memory book
I can dance, sing, or do both
I can come up with my own special list of how I will face my emotions
And I will keep it handy for when I need it
I ask for what I need
I remember everyone grieves in their own way
I grieve in my own way
I will take care of myself
I take things one day at a time
I will simply and clearly ask for what I need from those around me
I will use my voice
I will reach for support when I need it
I will process on my own when I need it
I will set boundaries on sources of help that aren’t working for me
I know I may not be as consistent as in the past
But I put my needs above what other people think of me
My focus is on facing this in the healthiest ways for me
I take refreshing breaks from grieving
While not avoiding grieving altogether
If I face temptation to be destructive in my grief, I give myself an escape plan that will prevent this
I offer myself room to sit with my feelings
I give myself space to understand my feelings
I am coping with my inner wisdom, strength and confidence
I maintain my health and my hygiene, even if it’s on minimal mode
I know my heart will ache, especially on anniversary dates and other meaningful days
I will prepare for these by reducing the stressors in my life
I am facing what has happened
With raw, genuine love and strength
I am facing everything
With raw, genuine love and strength
I am facing what has happened
With my raw, genuine love and strength
I am facing it all
With my raw, genuine love and strength

You Are Worthy
Feeling down about yourself? Struggling with setting boundaries? Wishing you were better at managing your emotions and staying grounded in the present?
Very often, we lose ourselves in the darkness of our own judgment. We allow our inner critic to drown out our voice of self-compassion, and find ourselves in a downward spiral of negativity - yikes!
But imagine what would happen if you started speaking to yourself kindly. Imagine if you embraced all parts of yourself - even the work in progress parts - and welcomed an abundance of self love into your heart, body, and mind.
