"You used to be …much more muchier"
Whether we are saying it to ourselves in the mirror or hearing it from others (either literally or in those 'loud glances' we get from someone), I am certain you too have heard this "You used to be …" and can finish the sentence many ways! ME TOO!
Today I head "down that rabbit hole (again)" to share my thoughts on acceptance and change after suicide loss. What do I mean? Well, I mean accepting our loss and then the personal changes that (whether we resist them or not) must take place to go forward - and everything in between.
I share my thoughts on how MY own (almost ) 5 year journey has looked with regards to these two things. Plus where I am now, how I got here and what I see ahead -- can I see ahead now??

For Serious …. a Healthline article that has good basic bones to it "Grief Without Denial: 6 Healthy Ways to Accept Death"
I also really like this article from Full Circle.org about Journaling It has some great journal prompts to get you writing!!
