Growth is a natural outcome of taking the time to experience our grief. Taking this time is not some attempt to have ourselves hurt more unnecessarily, but rather allows us to grow deeply, heal faster, and let our grief go. What a great message, Kelsey Low.

[@rickdkunkleman7919]

So powerful, so insightful, so inspiring and so authentic. Thank You Kelsey Low for sharing your journey and wisdom with us. You are an amazing person.

[@angelalow8033]

Yes!!! You inspired me to remember grief can move me to growth.

I'm so sorry I know how it feels to be lonely without the person you loved, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but life goes on because death is inevitable and we'll all have to face it someday, I lost my wife 3yrs ago to a cardiovascular disease, I felt deeply devastated with grief, but that's the past now, time is indeed the best healer. I'd love to talk to you more if you don't mind! it'd be nice if you just say hi, here is my number [phone] or rather you can send me your gmail address so I could reach out on you.

[@ambergomez324]

So inspiring! It’s nice to be reminded to stay present during every cycle of life, both the good and bad. Awesome talk.

[@AaronSaeteurn]

You are so inspiring Kelsey! Love this! 💕

[@wakes]

We love this. ❤️ It offers such an empowering perspective on our grief to growth journey. We must feel to heal. Do it through music (you know that's our jam), crying, dancing, talking...but feel it, move it, and keep growing. It's worth mustering up that courage!

[@khaterinfalcon3767]

bravo

[@mahnoorshoaib4199]

im just scared that ill be left in my pain if i embrace it and let it go through me and it would never end.

[@joyfullyyoupodcastwithkels6456]

It might feel like that at first but I promise it won't take you over (forever). Grief is so painful, but facing it, embracing the love you had for what you lost, WILL empower you in the long run. Emotions are energy in motion - when we let them move through us, we start to feel better and the pain loses it's power over us. Hope this helps. Sending you love, healing & strength

Oh my god she lost her grandma ,she has no clue whatsoever to do with losing close one's ,nearly everyone who has a grandmother loses them .Try losing a child or a partner or parent.The drama is ridiculous. I've lost all of the above by the way and listening to a drama queen like this is laughable.

[@mv7904]

Her grandma could have been the most significant person in her life. It is not a competition, and not everyone takes the advice the same way or needs the same advice. Please have consideration just as people have considered you during your losses. We need to stop egging and undermining other people. Despite this, I’m very sorry for your losses.

[@sitabhusal3505]

Hey i feel the same....why people make such a drama.... untimely death is the actual grief...we don't have to make drama for the death of grandmother/ grandfather etc who have lived there full life.. actual pain and loss is for those person who have lost there spouse/ childrens, parents, brother, sisters at their young age.
