Wowzers yowzers, y‘all.
Every bit of anxious and excited anticipation while waiting for this book to become available at my library was totally warranted.
I had a feeling it would be a game changer and I was right.
The truths within it are revolutionary, I can see it easily becoming a banned or challenged book quickly because of the truth found within these pages.
10/10 highly recommend.
I want to buy it for everyone I know!
This paragraph made me LOL because this book covers the heavy topic of grief, but now as it comes to a close, I know that if I ever get the privilege & honor of meeting Jayne one day, I‘d immediately tell her I am on #TeamCeline too, all hail #QueenCeline and that Jayne‘s love of her is not “just her”.
I was a diehard Celine fan from like age 8 when Titanic hit the big screens to about 16-17 years old. She was literally all I listened to.

“….we do not come out of the Body Grief process “fixed”. Being human and living in a body means there will always be one more thing. One more change in how we experience our body, one more loss. But with the inner and outer resources, with hindsight, with adaptive coping tools, with compassion, and above all with Body Trust, we have everything we need to keep going, to keep living.”
The more society tells us that we don‘t fit, the less we are able to trust in our body.
Body Trust feels like an unclenching of the jaw and fists as the tension is slowly released from the body. When we are in Body Trust, the mind, body and spirit are finally on the same page, and we know that we have the inner and outer resources to endure what is to come.
Hope provides a glimpse into the future, reminding us that there is always more to live for. This in turn opens the door to Body Trust, which asks us to have faith in our body in the present moment.
Play also is any activity, hobby or creative pursuit where your mind can get lost.
At its core, play is anything that lights you up and helps you remember how good it feels to simply be alive.
Play in and of itself is calming our nervous system as it activates the frontal lobe, and therefore shuts off the fight, flight, freeze or fawn response (finally the amygdala gets to rest!) It also nurtures your inner child and helps to heal the mind, body, and soul, making us happier and more content in the long run.
Self-compassion is an attempt to take care of that part of you that is feeling hopeless, the part of you that forgot how to be happy.
