Don't Judge Your Grief

One of the best ways you can help yourself is to not judge your grief. You are going to feel how you feel, and it will likely change from day to day. There is no need to cause yourself additional stress by admonishing yourself: Why do I feel just fine today? Shouldn’t I be unable to get out of bed? or I’m crushed, I can’t move, this isn’t normal. Something’s wrong with me. Everything that you go through, everything that you feel, is normal. Grief is hard enough without having judgment piled on top of it.
