Grief and school transitions

The energy that is so palpable at this time of year can feel jarring when we are grieving. I often talk with clients about how there is this uncanny experience in grief of feeling like life has frozen internally, but outside the window everyone is just moving about their merry way. We can have that feeling pop up at many times during grief, especially when grief is fresh, at holidays/celebrations, and at times like back-to-school.
