GRIEF SLIME

Slime is Messy!!! Just like Grief!  Do you ever feel like grief "messed things up" in your life? 

What helps you when grief or life feels messy?

Thinking about our grief can feel intimidating and even scary- just like the process of making

slime. It might seem like just too much to get into and that once you start, it may just get all

over the place. However, once you start working through each ingredient, you realize things

start coming together and it becomes manageable. When we take the same approach in

processing our grief, we choose to take control of it rather than allowing it to take control of us.

What is one small step that has helped or could help you take control of your grief when it feels

overwhelming and out of control?
