Repeat, read, and listen to these affirmations for grief:
I am allowing myself full, unconditional permission to move through grief- in my own way, at my own pace. I am opening to feelings the full spectrum of emotions and I know that however I feel right now is powerful and it’s important in my process of mourning. Healing is not a linear process, and it is completely personal, so I choose to not compare my journey to anyone else’s. I am giving myself grace, and the space needed to allow my feelings to come through. I am allowing myself to feel all of my feelings. I am unafraid of the emotions that arise no matter how uncomfortable they may feel. Each feeling I experience is a normal part of the grieving process. I am patient with myself, and I allow myself to hold onto the love and the positive memories as I gently let go of the grief.
I am taking care of myself, and it becoming easier to look after myself. I am a different person in the process of experiencing grief, and that’s perfectly ok. Each experience in my life changes me and molds me; on the other side of grief I am more wise, more compassionate, more present, and armed with incredible coping skills to move through life and to help others. I know I am powerful and resilient, and it’s ok if I don’t feel like it in every moment. I am not supposed to be everyone’s rock. I am giving myself grace to not have all the answers and to be ok with not knowing what exactly happens next. I don’t have to be the strongest person in the room. I am allowing myself to soften and to be open to support. I am resting when I need to rest. I am honoring the full spectrum of emotions that arise, knowing that each one WILL pass. I am acknowledging the very normal, very important role of grief during times of life transition. Grief comes in different shades and phases. I have the strength, the courage, and the energy to move through each one, until little by little, the grief begins to evaporate.
The most important thing I can do while processing grief is to be present. The more present I can be, the more I can appreciate what I have and what I have loved. The more mindful I can be in each moment, the more meaning my life has – the more I can vividly experience my memories, the more I can see synchronicities. I can fully appreciate the life I’ve lived, the memories I have, the love I’ve experienced when I practice being present.
I am passionately expressing my grief in ways that allow my emotions to move up and out of my body. I am learning to feel deeply, and release. Inhale peace, exhale sorrow. Each day I am healing. I am grateful for the love I have had and continue to have in my life, and I honor my past while being grounded and present in the moment. There is beauty to this life, and I am grateful to have loved and to experience the array of emotions that accompany a love so deep. A love so deep and one-of-a kind that it shapes the way I show up in the world. Breathing in peace, exhaling pain. Breathing in gratitude, and exhaling sorrow. My grief expression is powerful reminder of my resilience and the LOVE that I was fortunate enough to have.
