Break free from the closure myth and embrace the beautiful blend of grief and joy. According to grief expert Nancy Berns, our culture's obsession with closure sets unrealistic expectations that grief should have an end. In reality, grief is a natural and complex process that doesn't adhere to a specific timeline or guarantee a clear endpoint.
Society's desire for closure stems from a discomfort with pain and a longing to return to happiness. However, true healing comes from learning to live with loss, allowing space for both love and joy to coexist alongside grief. So let go of the pressure for closure and embrace the richness of the journey, where grief and joy intertwine, shaping our lives in profound ways.
