Grief has a way of cleaning house. It changes your frequency.
Surviving years of health issues, caregiving, losing loved ones and pets, grief strips away your tolerance for shallow small talk, fake politeness and chasing people who cannot or will not demonstrate basic emotional comfort.
It is very normal to feel disconnected from the outer world when your inner world has been through an earthquake they cannot relate to.
Your nervous system is exhausted, and when we are tired and hurting, our minds naturally turn inward to blame ourselves because it feels like the only thing we can control.
Feeling invisible to people who lack the depth to meet you where you are can make you feel broken or defective because people will pull away from what was once easy for them to access and no longer is: the person who stopped performing for people who only wanted convenience.
Grief allows you to sit in the quiet space between letting go of the wrong people and letting the right ones find you.
