Grief can feel overwhelming, unpredictable, and ever-present. In this video, I explain the Ball in the Box analogy—a powerful way to understand how grief evolves over time. While the pain of loss never fully disappears, it changes in intensity and frequency. Learn how grief shifts, why triggers can still catch you off guard, and how healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means growing around your loss. 💙
This analogy offers a simple yet powerful way to visualize the complexities of living with grief day to day. When emotions feel overwhelming or difficult to express, we can simply say, “The ball is just very big today,” instead of struggling to put our feelings into words.
💙 Share your thoughts: Do you have an analogy that helps explain grief? Let’s continue mending piece by piece, one step at a time. #Grief #Loss #Healing #MentalHealth
