Are you struggling with the loss of a loved one, divorce, a health scare? Has the journey felt lonely and incomprehensible?

Are you struggling with the loss of a loved one, divorce, a health scare? Has the journey felt lonely and incomprehensible?
Please understand that "grief is the normal and natural emotional response" to any change or loss you might experience. Grief is not just related to a death, but is also associated with more than 40 different stress causing experiences (breakup, divorce, loss of a job, loss of health, loss of self-identity, etc). The average person tends to offer grievers logical reasons as to why they should not feel bad. The problem with this type of dialogue is that grief is NOT logical but emotional! Consequently, no amount of logic will make you feel better.
Grievers are also frequently told that the passage of time will help them feel better after a loss. I'm here to tell you "time does not heal all wounds." The only thing that happens with the passage of time is that the sad feelings you're experiencing tend to become your "new normal". Hence, why time is only a small factor when it comes to starting on the path to healing and recovery. Feelings of sadness are normal and not an indication that there's "something wrong" with you. I have good news: You're not alone in feeling this way! Most grievers tend to hide or downplay their emotional pain so that other people stop trying to "fix" them. Again, it's normal to feel whatever you're feeling and acknowledging your feelings is a key factor in helping to build a trusting relationship which, in turn, will help you take action.
Most people listen with their head rather than their heart. This can lead us to isolate and grieve alone because we don't feel heard. When you're able to share your story without feeling judged, analyzed, compared and/or criticized, this is the first step in breaking through that sense of isolation. Feeling safe while having an empathetic listener available to you and NOT try to "fix" you in that moment you're telling your story, can also help you in taking that first step into recovery action.
Through your willingness and courage, you'll be guided step-by-step to find the relationships with the most unfinished business and identify your regrets. Does it require courage? YES! But, the freedom you'll feel will be worth it. Imagine...
- Enjoying happy memories w/out pain
- Not beating yourself up for the past
- Being more present for the people in your life
- Getting better at limiting future regrets
There's no better time than NOW to get complete with your past and enjoy living your life again!
