Dealing With Grief Around The Holidays | Losing My Mom | Learning To Heal

I woke up wanting to talk about loss and how I've dealt with it. Dealing with grief is always hard, but it can be extra difficult around the holidays. This has been such a tough year and I thought it would be healthy to acknowledge it. If you have lost someone and are struggling with the coming holidays, in this video I share things I wish I knew and tips that have worked to help me heal.
This video is long because it is very raw and only lightly edited. I wanted to keep the video honest and real. I also chose not to cut out the moments when I cry. Emotions are natural and they're not something that you need to hide or feel ashamed for expressing. I'm still greatly affected by the loss of my mom, but I've grown so much and I'm proud of that.
I'm proud of you too.
You deserve to grieve at your own speed.

Great video i loss my dad 2 weeks ago his funeral was yesterday everyone was telling me to be strong so i didn't cry but inside I was screaming. This is a pain i have never felt 😭💔thank you so much for making this video

[@KindlyKaela]

It's so difficult to know how to navigate the emotions. Losing a loved one is also losing a part of yourself. Crying isn't a sign of weakness and you are strong regardless of how to choose to express yourself. I'm so glad my experience brought you some comfort, you can message me anytime if you have any questions or need someone to listen ❤ -Kaela
