There is no timeline for grief — and healing does not mean forgetting or moving on. Mental health therapist Shelley Fourney addresses the most common misconceptions about grief, explains what healing actually looks like, and reminds us that life can be good again AND still carry loss. If you are still grieving years later, this one is for you.

Grief affects your body and your mind in ways that can feel alarming if you don't know what to expect — brain fog, sleeplessness, inability to function, and more. Mental health therapist Shelley Fourney breaks down the physical and emotional impacts of grief and helps you understand the difference between normal grief responses and when it might be time to ask for help. You are not broken — this is just what grief does.

We ALL need help at different times with different things to be able to move forward in our life.  Using a resource that has more experience than you are also commonplace – we hire help with our taxes, hair, medical care, remodeling, however when it comes to managing our stress, mental health, life changes we refuse.
