I really appreciate the distinction made here between adaptation and resilience--too many people still think of grief as a linear process with an end goal of "getting over it." In situations like mine, where the grief is complex (I'm slowly losing my husband of 37 years to early-onset dementia), there is no "getting over it."

Thank you for the distinction between resilience and adaptation. Something I hadn't thought about before but it makes sense.
Great post - I use the seed analogy all the time and love the layering and nuance you bring to it here.
