This Sunday, we will walk through a guide to understanding the stages of grief. The stages of grief are: 1) Denial 2) Anger 3) Bargaining 4) Depression 5) Acceptance I know it sounds like a heavy topic, but having the information can help move through hard times with more understanding and empowerment 💜 As always, under CLASSROOM you can find our meeting link, past presentations, place to donate, and the anonymous feedback form.

I wish I wasnt me I wish my dad wasnt abusive I wish my mom was there for me, I miss my brother, my boss is so toxic, my ex used me and discarded … no true friends, i feel isolated most of the time carrying loads of whats not mine but expected to carry so I dont get hurt even more. On paper I have what all think is great but its compensation to feel valuable when those who pretend to care for me only see me worth it when I do what they want. When I am human I am punished and its a cycle. I feel empty even if I have a future because I dont feel safe inside

This week I will have to move the meeting to be one hour later than our usual time. We will meet at 9:00 PM EST instead of 8:00 (this week only). I apologize for any inconvenience. I also will not be facilitating my Friday night &Rise group and Nicole is subbing...full disclosure, I made terrible errors in booking some flights 🤦🏼‍♀️. While I thought I was heading to the airport at 1 PM tomorrow, I am actually heading there for a 1 AM flight tonight. This week, I will come with some discussion questions, but due to my chaotic week, there will not be a full presentation. There will be plenty of time and space to share anything on your mind, ask the group for advice, or bring up a particular topic you'd like us to discuss. Thanks for understanding 💜 I look forward to seeing anyone who can still make it on Sunday evening.

Its overwhelming how much I cared what others thought of me for so long… I stayed in my own mental prison.
