Grief Lull Why This Period Can be Difficult

Grief Lull: Why This Period Can be Difficult

To many people, grief lull is the period to come to terms with reality. It is when you have to accept the uncomfortable truth that you will never have a one-to-one talk or share great moments with your loved one. Although you miss them and see life is empty without them, you have to accept life must move on without them.

How It Impacts Your Grief Journey

As a grief expert, I realize most people go back to denial, the first stage of grief during the grief lull. This can slow your grief journey.

How To Survive the Grief Lull

I strongly suggest focusing on your hobbies or activities you enjoy, avoiding social media for a while, connecting with friends or family, and seeking professional help.

Nutritionist, Cornell University, MS

I believe that nutrition science is a wonderful helper both for the preventive improvement of health and adjunctive therapy in treatment. My goal is to help people improve their health and well-being without torturing themselves with unnecessary dietary restrictions. I am a supporter of a healthy lifestyle – I play sports, cycle, and swim in the lake all year round. With my work, I have been featured in Vice, Country Living, Harrods magazine, Daily Telegraph, Grazia, Women's Health, and other media outlets.
