Grief Isn’t Just Stages—It’s Survival

When loss hits hard—like the recent floods in Texas and New Mexico—it’s not just grief, it’s trauma. People aren’t just sad; they’re haunted by how it happened, stuck in shock, and often feel totally alone. Forget the five stages of grief—real mourning is messy and doesn’t follow a script. If you know someone going through this, just listen, don’t try to fix it, and remind them they’re not alone. Sometimes, just staying is the most powerful thing you can do. #Health #MentalHealth #GriefSupport
