Grief is not just pure sadness.

The messiness of grief brings a variety of emotions which are often tangled up together, like uncombed hair.

As I waded through the myriad of my own, I realised I sank deeper, when I ruminated over and over the loss and neglected myself.

To find some balance, I set one goal each day:

Stumble out of bed,
Take a long hot shower,
Comb hair,
Sit with pain,
Cook/ eat,
Rest/ sleep,
Be in nature/ walk in park,
Pilates, Yoga, Jogging, Fencing (only when energy returned),
Read/ write/ watch films,
Sketch/ paint,
Practice piano,
Play with my cats.
