As a grief specialist, I believe that every ending involves a form of grief. Please feel free to take it or leave it but I would suggest these steps..
1)Giving thanks: Take time to reflect on and give thanks for your body and the incredible experiences it has given you. Write down the ways this journey has shaped who you are today and what it has taught you. Celebrate the strength and beauty of the process that brought you joy and desire.
2)Letting go:Letting go of a former version of yourself is a form of grief. Write down everything you are releasing from this experience. It could be expectations, identities, or emotions. Then, hold a symbolic act, like a burning ceremony, to honor this transition. Visualize the person you are becoming, fully immersed in caring for yourself, your family, and your future. Consider what else you need to "birth," whether big or small.
3)Daily Gratitude Practice: Incorporating gratitude into your daily routine is transformative. It was a game changer for me during my second pregnancy and after the loss of my sister. The science behind gratitude’s ability to rewire the brain is remarkable, it helps shift your focus toward joy and resilience.
