Day 88/100 “ Day 88/100 “I think of grieving as an act of loving remembrance and that it is communal. We obviously do grieve in moments alone but it’s much easier to do it together and share stories to keep the memories alive of the people we love.” #100wordproject #loss

Day 89/100 "I have learned to listen, to empathise and to be present. I have prioritised to care, show up and to love the people important to me. " #griefandloss #100wordproject

Day 90/100 " I have come to realize that crying is a window to let an overwhelming emotion empty itself, somehow. We cry when we are happy, sad, grieving and for so many other reasons. Crying will always heal. Though slow, but progressive" #100wordproject #cryandletitout

Day 92/100 "It definitely doesn’t get easier… you just get stronger and learning to push through life without them." #100wordproject #griefandloss #coping

Day 93/100 " My advice would be to allow yourself to feel all the pain and talk to someone, spend time with the people you love. " #100wordproject #griefandloss #coping

Day 94/100 "Being part of a community, especially one that understands what you’re going through is very important to cope with grief. A community where you can talk about them, or just sit in silence, or cry. That’s the best strategy." #griefandloss #coping #100wordproject

Day 95/100 “ I have a statement... I am where my feet are. “ #stayingpresent #griefandloss #coping #100wordproject

Day 96/100 “Therapy helped and listening to a lot of podcasts and music to temporarily distract myself from the pain.” #100wordproject #griefandloss #coping #therapy

Day 98/100 " Sometimes, acceptance isn’t the final stage of grief—it’s the first." #griefandloss #acceptance #100wordproject

On this final day of the 100word project, I share my reflections on grief . It has been an immense privilege to receive your stories of resilience, hope, and healing. Thank you for trusting me with your experiences. Here’s what I’ve learned along my journey. 👩🏾‍⚕️💉Divi👩🏾‍⚕️💉

From this year’s #100wd we’ve learnt so much about grief. Over the next few days, I will be reflecting on the common themes which came across throughout the project. Reflection 1: Grieving is not a one size fits all experience - everyone has a unique journey grieving.

Reflection 2: Grief has no set timeline. From this year's 100 word project, we have learnt that there is no set timeline for grief and that the healing process takes time and fluctuates. #100wp #100wordproject #griefandloss #grieftakestime

Reflection 4: We need support and connection.

Reflection 5: Talk about it.
