I think being around close friends and family helped me to kind of soften and relax that kind of co-regulation piece.
And then
Actually, I think one of the things that helped the most was I lived in Bryson at the time in the UK.
And I'd go swimming in the sea, which is like frigging freezing.
And there was something about the way that
when you get into really cold water and folks listening might have done an ice bath for example where like initially you just like you like clench and you're like this is so intense and then if you stay there for a while and you begin to kind of relax and open up it's like the cold kind of seeps in and suddenly it's not so bad it's it's not so painful and for me learning to do that um it's actually where some of the like
initial waves of grief started to come through.
And I think the same move where it's like, it takes some courage to go into really cold water in the same way that it takes courage to open up to feeling.
an emotion that you think is probably going to destroy you or is just never going to end or is going to feel like it's going to obliterate you.
And so practicing that kind of move a bunch of times, I think allowed it to go in.
And then I think the other, the honest answer actually is fear in the sense that
I'd met adults who were much older who'd lost someone close to them and they hadn't processed their grief and there was almost this sense of like deadness or like of that unmetabolized grief that I was really afraid of because they became like bitter and resentful and it's almost like their life just like shrunk and I sensed that given my background as like a British guy
Just to generalize.
I didn't really have the tools.
Yeah.
We're not the most emotionally fluid of cultures.
And so I think it was...
just a decision of like, okay, I'm going to actually turn around and move towards this and explore this.
And so I went on a meditation retreat initially.
I took time off work to give myself some space.
