Grieving Through Parent Loss
When your inner child has a meltdown
When you lose a parent, it does something to your soul. There’s the absence you feel not having that soft place to land (if your parent was that for you) that leaves you feeling lost.
And let’s not talk about the abandonment wound that is triggered almost immediately. I’ll let you in on something. That since of abandonment is coming from your little person, your inner child.
Parent loss leaves us feeling tremendously unsafe because our inner child doesn’t know how to imagine a world where a parent isn’t there to nurture them and keep them safe.
That’s why if feels so raw and painful. Our inner child begins to meltdown. Full on tantrum mode, and it’s hard to contain. It leaves us bare, unraveled, and ungrounded.
But here’s the thing…
This is also an opportunity to learn how to reparent your inner child. Because you do have the inner resources to nurture you little one, provide her safety, and remind her that she is not alone.
How do you do that you may ask?
Join us this Thursday for our BGG Grief Circle where we will explore this and give you tools to take care of your inner child.
Look forward to seeing you then my love
