Hiding Grief Behind a Smile
Manage episode 488597287 series 3102896
Sometimes we smile so no one asks how we’re really doing… even when we feel broken inside. You may have gone back to work or daily life, and from the outside, everything seems fine—but you're carrying a silent sadness that weighs heavily. I know this, not only as a grief expert, but as someone who’s lived deep loss.
You're not alone. Pretending is exhausting—it pulls us away from our truth. Allow yourself to feel, without guilt or fear.
Have you ever caught yourself hiding behind a smile? I’d love to read your reflections in the comments.
If you're grieving the loss of a loved one, I invite you to listen to buy my book “Allow Me to Live My Grief... and Heal from the Inside Out,” available on Amazon, or www.ligiahouben.com
