Why grief brings fear into your life
Grief expert Zoe Clark-Coates, who together with her husband lost five babies, shared this insight about grief on Instagram.

I want to try to explain why grief can also bring fear into one’s life.
There are many reasons why this can happen, but here is one of the biggest causes.
When you have endured incomprehensible grief, when pain erupted like a never ending volcano, it shatters your belief system…
- That internal seed of hope, that life will always be ok, implodes.
One moment you were fine, the next you’re wailing on the floor, hoping the searing pain will end.
You have now seen beyond the veil, looked into that hidden room, glimpsed inside Pandora’s box, and now you can’t unsee what you have witnessed.
I still long for that innocence, that unawareness to be returned to me.
To go back to a time when I didn’t know pain like this existed.
To return to a time when I didn’t feel the need to stand on guard just in case the trap door opens beneath my feet.
This is another reason why the bereaved are such different people on the other side of loss.
