Grieving in Progress

If you are new here, welcome to Dr. Amber_Writes. I am a clinical psychologist who writes weekly about mental health. I aim to bring you evidenced-based information, with a personal touch. Check out this post to read more about why I started writing in the first place. If you want to hear from me again, subscribe any time.

This is a piece I’ve been working on with the hope of capturing my experience of grief in these early months after the loss of my father. This is not an essay on how it feels to be on the other side of the hurt or the problem. Nothing is mastered here, I do not have 5 bullet point suggestions. It is, as Glennon Doyle calls it, the “messy middle.” I am happy to meet you there.
