In this post I will give you 3 common ways that we avoid grief, hopefully you will be able to recognize these signs in yourself if you are avoiding grief, and give yourself permission to grieve, feel the feelings, and allow them to heal you.

I needed a title that would provide lasting satisfaction. One that could show me once and for all who I was, and what my place was in this world. I needed the ultimate title. I needed to be a WIFE!

In a situationship you are often expected to give freely of your body, your emotions, your energy and your time, but when the subject of commitment or titles come up, there's awkward pauses, vague explanations, and usually a shit ton of avoidance. 

I started my first situationship about 2 weeks into my freshman year of college. He was my first taste of "grown up sex" and I was HOOKED! Of course he had a girlfriend, because that's just how these stories go. Naive college freshman meets sexy college frat boy, cue the cliche dramatic yet predictable story lines.
