This experience reminded me that grief doesn’t follow a timeline. This will be my 8th Christmas without Kevin, and I’ve learned to live with grief by allowing my emotions to flow rather than holding them back.
But what if you don’t feel safe expressing your emotions in public?
For those moments, I recommend Tonglen - an ancient Buddhist practice that teaches compassion for yourself and others. It has been a lifesaver for me during unexpected grief waves on buses, planes, or trains.
