Grief: a five-letter word – short, yet it’s a big emotion. It is deep, because it is a reflection of what we love, and it can feel all-encompassing. It shows what we value and reminds us of what we care about.
We all have in our time when someone from our family, relatives, friends, or even our pets passed away. The pain of loss can feel overwhelming, but there are healthy and natural ways to cope with your grief and learn to heal. Aromatherapy offers a profound approach to potentially reduce the damaging effects of stress on the body, mind, and spirit. The benefits of olfactory aromatherapy in reducing stress have also been noted. I made a diffuser blend that can help to provide comfort during a period of grief and loss.
