Lesson Overview

27.13 – Physical Symptoms of Grief (Tired, Sick, Tense): Grief doesn’t live only in the mind—it floods the body too. Sleepless nights, tight shoulders, headaches, or stomach aches often follow emotional shock. Your immune system slows down because stress chemicals surge, leaving you drained or restless. These sensations aren’t signs of weakness; they are proof that heartbreak is physical labor. Caring for yourself during grief isn’t indulgence—it’s survival. Small routines like eating simple meals, stretching, walking, or breathing deeply restore balance to systems on overload. When rest feels impossible, remind yourself your body is grieving too and deserves patience. The exhaustion may linger, but consistency brings gradual relief. Listening to your body teaches you how emotions and biology connect. Healing begins when you treat fatigue with compassion instead of frustration. Over time strength returns quietly, and your body learns it can carry both memory and recovery together without collapsing under the weight.
