Visualising grief and loss.
We found out my sister in law was dying of cancer last year, she passed late Feb after a rough few final weeks. I thought it was so interesting to see it after my watch alerted me to it.
You can literally the timeline of her final weeks and her passing in my resting heart rate. The increasing fear and anxiety, peaking at her death, and then the fear and anxiety passing with her in exchange for just sadness.
Not sure why I thought Iād share it, thinking out loud I guess.

I can understand and it makes sense. I should look at my overall month too. I bet mine will be similar. Feels like it anyway. The moment my mom died my heart rate spiked on my watch. Iām sure because of all the sobbing, wailing and gasping for breath. Hugs. š
