Retrospring is shutting down on 1st March, 2025 Read more
someone from three years ago told me that recovering from grief is not something i can earn in a day. it takes months, or even years to do so. but hey, in the end of every story, there will always be new beginnings. you will soon realize that grieving or not, life still goes on. and as cliché as it sounds, time heals. it does. take this as an example. it's been almost 20 days ever since you asked this question which means almost three weeks had passed. answer me honestly, how are you now? is the sadness still clinging onto you or is it slowly but surely decreasing as time goes by? whichever the answer might be, know that in the end, you would still be alright. no matter how much burden the pain of grief weighs you, just remember what i'm about to say, "there is no rush when it comes to healing. nothing and nobody is chasing you in the process. you have plenty of time to recover. if it still hurts, then cry and cry hard until it hurts no more. until you can no longer grief. until you find solace." lastly, i hope you're doing well now, jade. ♡
Grief can be physically and emotionally draining, so it’s crucial to prioritize self-care. Engage in activities that promote relaxation, such as exercise, meditation, or hobbies you enjoy. Ensure you’re getting enough rest, eating well, and maintaining a routine!🔭 Grief doesn’t follow a linear timeline, and healing takes time. Just allow yourself to grieve at your own pace and be patient with the ups and downs that come with the grieving process, Jade. I’m sure you’ll overcome it in no time. You’re more than capable of doing the right thing for yourself. ♡
Grief grew quiet within ourselves, hence why I sees grief as a moment to ‘pause’ or to rest. Breath in, Jade, allow yourself to process every sharp pang that rattling around your chest. Your mind could be a little too loud as your body losing its control, but it’s okay. You can cry it out loud to your heart’s content or sleep all day long as a way to distract your mind. But I personally would recommend to take a walk or stroll around the city; eat your comfort foods and do street feeding. Let your skin being kissed by the sun and your hair being blown by the wind, so that you will find yourself having the will to heal. I once did that too and it worked. Semangat, ya?
I'm also not doing really well at the moment, but I cheered myself back up and kept on telling myself that things would get better! I also kept myself busy to prevent myself for being sad. Cheer up, Jade! You got this! <3 You may also talk to me, okayyy? My twitter account is on my bio. ^^
Sorry for the late reply, but let me answer this. The way I deal with sadness is not to dwell on it, I know it seems impossible, but by trying not to think about it too much and having fun with friends, interacting with other people can distract my sadness. I distract it by hanging out sih.
When I'm sad or something, I really cry at that time. after crying, aku minum air putih terus nenangin dirii! basic tapi itu ngaruh banget di aku, terus kalau ada temen buat cerita ya aku bakal cerita lewat vn biar semua emosi ku keluarr, habis itu ya baca buku atau liat video lucu di tiktok, atauu langsung ke twitter baca au/thread horor, spill an anak twitter, banyak dehh! if you want to tell me, it's okay. My dm are always open to anyone!! <33
