Coronavirus and Grief

Episode Introduction: 

Are you experiencing grief following the news and the events related to the Coronavirus? If yes, know that you are not alone. It was important for me to make you feel understood, and that is why I want to ask you to not isolate.

All of the sadness, frustration, anger, irritation that you are going through is only a result of the trauma you are experiencing. Know that this process is normal, and you are allowed to grieve through it.

But do you get stuck, not realizing how to see the light at the end of the tunnel?

If so, understand that the grief is of the loss of our unmet hopes and dreams. Today, I guide you through 5 anchors that could help you heal-

1. The very first anchor is truth. Be honest to yourself about how you're feeling.
2. Second, comes the heart anchor. Know that even if your heart is broken, you are not broken. 
3. My third anchor is called the connection anchor. Just think about being in your community and find a connection with people.
4. The next anchor is faith. When times go uneasy and intimidating, have faith in yourself and the Ultimate power above.
5. The last anchor is the restoration anchor. It makes you look at the unresolved grief areas in your life. And during this time, please do not walk away from it. Spend some time healing.
