Navigating the Waves of Grief

Tonight’s tool from her Healing Toolbox

EFT (Tapping)

EFT gave Krissy a way to manage intense emotional waves in a healthy way. It doesn’t let you bypass the pain; it gives grief a voice and a sense of relief as you move through it.

Step by step

1. Rate the intensity of what you feel on a scale of 1–10.
2. Optional: place 2–3 drops of a grounding oil in your hands, cup over your nose, and take three deep breaths.
3. Tap through Part I (acknowledging), using points such as top of head, eyebrow, side of eye, under eye, under nose, chin, under arm, and wrist—repeating phrases like: “Even though I feel so much pain and grief after losing my child, I deeply and completely love, forgive and accept how I feel.”
4. After a round, squeeze your wrist and take 3 deep breaths. Repeat until intensity softens (she aimed below a three before moving to releasing and replacing rounds). Full script is in the book’s appendix.
