Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy; sweat will get you change.
Jesse Jackson
Grief and loss can take a terrible toll on the body. We stop eating, we eat too much, we eat empty calories instead of nourishing our bodies. We can’t sleep, we don’t want to get out of bed, all we do is sleep. We can’t bear to leave the house, much less go to the gym, take the dog for a walk or go for a run.
Learn to deal with the physical impact of grief and begin to heal your body after a devastating loss. We share ideas on how to move, nourish and rejuvenate your body even on your hardest days.
We invite you to become part of our community. Share your story, ask a question, make a comment. We’d love to hear from you.

I want to know what else sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. Oriah Mountain Dreamer
Rest
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief .. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. Wendell Berry
Love + Grief can = Growth
From a childhood of horses, shooting, tomahawk throwing, mountain man rendezvous, abuse and violence; to a loving marriage, three amazing sons, three truly special granddaughters and great plans for retirement that all came crashing down with one traumatic event; I am finding that there just might be life after loss.
