How strong is your resilience muscle? Have you considered that strengthening your resilience now might make future losses slightly less painful? And how does reframing the meaning of resilience from strong to soft change how you move through grief?

🔥Blair's original neuroscientific-proven "Navigating Grief Framework: G-R-I-E-F" for grievers and those who support grievers in a professional setting.
