brings with it peace and tranquility. Connected to the Heart Chakra, Epidote will open, align and activate the energy flow through your chakras, and allow you to mend broken relationships, move on from grief or rejection and welcome love and new relationships into your life.

 

Bonus Crystal

A firm favourite for so many is Amethyst, which also aids in the support of grief 

and loss. It has a natural calming effect, relieves stress, soothes irritability and help you achieve a balanced mindset. This semi-precious stone has a huge list of benefits - and it’s great to keep nearby or in your palm to ease tension headaches and strain around the head. If you meditate, lie down and place the stone on your third eye or on top of your Crown Chakra while sitting crossed legged. Placing it under a pillow at night can promote quiet, recuperative sleep and prevent nightmares. 

Along with crystal healing and meditation, some people also find it helpful to join support groups or simply spend some time talking to a trusted friend or family member. There are those of us who like to push ourselves into other things to distract from the grief itself and those of us who prefer to sit in solitude and reflect. There are no right or wrong answers when it comes to grieving, we recommend listening to your mind, body and spirit, utilise self-care rituals, for some that could be meditation, listening or playing music, a long soak in the bath, a massage or facial, long walks in nature or simply sitting and reading a book.

With grief the only right answer is dealing with it in your own way and finding what helps you get up and face each new day with strength and determination.

People often say “time is the greatest healer”, whilst some aspects of that ring true, finding your own path to healing is essential and healing is a journey, with so many paths. Time doesn’t heal all, each individual must find their path and that is one of the hardest parts, to know what will help and to trust in the universe.

 

Only thing left to say is remember it’s ok to not be ok! And our inbox and DMs are always open to anyone wanting someone to reach out to to discuss further.

 Love & Light, Laura
