What is 'body grief'? Women share what it's like to mourn their former selves.

A new TikTok trend titled #bodygrief has reached nearly 880,000 views.

Women share what it's like to mourn their former selves.

Author Jayne Mattingly defines body grief as “the universal experience of disillusionment, sorrow, and loss that comes with simply existing in a body”.

Rose suggests writing down a list of things you appreciate about yourself that are completely unrelated to your body.

Sharing what you're going through in a safe space with other people who have been through it, or are going through it too, really helps you process those difficult feelings.

No one should have to go through it alone.
