Is There a Connection Between Stress and Grief?
Manage episode 501634894 series 3102896
Your heart is grieving—and your body knows it. Fatigue, chest tightness, sleepless nights, and brain fog aren’t “just in your head”: cortisol (the stress hormone) often rises after a loss.
Self-care is part of grief: try paced breathing, gentle movement, journaling, and simple rituals to help your system settle.
Where do you feel stress in your body when you’re grieving, and what actually helps?
If you’re navigating the loss of a loved one, I invite you to get my book “Allow me to Live my Grief… and Heal From the Inside Out,” available on Amazon and at www.ligiahouben.com
