The biggest thing that keeps you stuck.

THE BIGGEST THING THAT KEEPS YOU STUCK!

May 03, 20261 min read

Let’s be honest…

One of the most damaging thoughts in grief is this:

“I should be over this by now.”

And it doesn’t just sit there quietly…

It adds pressure.

Pressure to move faster.
Pressure to feel better.
Pressure to “get back to normal.”

And now you’re not just carrying grief…

You’re carrying expectation.

You start measuring yourself.

Comparing yourself.

Wondering why it still hurts…

when you think it shouldn’t.

But here’s the truth most people don’t realise…

There is no timeline for grief.

There is no point where you’re “supposed” to be okay.

Grief doesn’t follow a schedule.

It changes over time…
but it doesn’t just disappear on command.

And when you keep telling yourself
“I should be further along…”

You create resistance.

You fight the process instead of moving through it.

So if that thought has been sitting in the background for you…

Let me say this clearly:

You’re not behind.

You’re human.

Release the pressure…

From the valley to the victory…
keep moving forward.
