Special Needs Grief

 

Special needs grief.........Does it ever go away? 

For me, it's a surface and pass, come and go thing. It is almost as if I go through the stages of grief for different phases or missed opportunities and milestones for my girl. I don't wallow in it or unpack for a pity party; I have my moment and I move on. I DO allow myself to experience it and to feel all the feels. I don't find burying negative emotions beneficial to one's overall mental health. I never want to be an emotional, erupting volcano that pushes feelings down to simmer and marinate, only to blow unexpectedly.

How is it for you?
