by Megan Devine, It's OK That You're Not OK
We often think of grief as primarily emotional,
but grief is a full-body, full-mind experience.
Grief affects appetite, digestion, blood pressure,
heart rate, respiration, muscle fatigue, and sleep -
basically everything. If it's in the body, grief
affects it.
In addition to physical effects, cognitive
changes, memory loss, confusion, and shortened
attention spans are all common in early grief.
Some effects even last for years - and that's
perfectly normal.
It's true on so many levels: losing somone
changes you.
