Healing involves understanding trauma and grief, recognizing them as fundamental human experiences. It requires facing emotions related to trauma and accepting grief in its many forms. Healing takes time, patience, and self-compassion, supported by therapy and community connections. By embracing this process, we can turn pain into growth and resilience.
