The pendulum
Rather than 7 stages of grief, perhaps it helps to see grief as a pendulum.
You (the pendulum) swing between getting on with life and being in your grief. Sometimes you may stay in one area longer.
I hope you're all slowly healing. Focus on self-care and the answers to how you'll get through this will come. Just take one step at a time. Don't think you can find a way to rush through it.

@Frankie I think this is yrue. And I know the following is obvious but it's just terribly sad that loss has taught us this.♥️
I agree so much. I truly wish we didn’t have to experience these losses. I am sorry that it happened to you just as I am sorry it happened to me. May the memory of our babies be a blessing to us 🧡
@Frankie completely feel everything you've just said. Peace and healing,x

This is one of my favorite concepts. I also think of it as if the pendulum can swing in one direction, grief and sorrow, it can swing equally in the other direction, celebration and joy. So when we experience great loss and sadness, we open ourselves to a greater potential of joy than ever before.
