Spent time talking with some women yesterday about micro-griefs. They are real, and they are plentiful this year. If you're exhausted, unusually emotionally unstable, or numb, this is likely the reason. So many little losses - that on their own aren't significant - add up.
When we don't pause to morn little losses in a time when there are multiple little losses everyday, they can gather together and turn into one big loss that doesn't make sense to our rational brains.
We are, in fact, all grieving to some extent, and we are all, in fact, going to experience all of the "phases" of grief at one point or another, often with little to no provocation.
Be gracious to yourself and the people around you, just like you would after a big loss.

Be gentle with everyone you cross paths with everyday. You don't know what little or big losses they have had touch their lives this year, this month, this week, or even just this morning.
And if you're pretty healthy, be the stronger, calmer person in your interactions.

Love one another. Care for one another. And if you just don't have that in you today, maybe stay home and rest, grieve, and do something nice for yourself so that maybe tomorrow, you can.
You are seen, you are known, you are loved.
