Conscious & Enlightened Ways to Heal After the Loss of a Loved One
-
Take the time to mourn it is a gift from you that only you can give.
-
Take time for your grief, it is a tender, healing time.
-
Do not become numb and let grief pass unconsciously. Meet it fully. The reward is living consciously.
-
Allow yourself all the time you need. Every person’s process will be unique.
-
If it fits your belief system, set a period of time that suits you alone and actively use this time to mourn, to remember, to grieve.
-
When the period of time is concluded, begin to move slowly back into life. Mourning will continue as long as it needs and will bubble up from time to time and this is normal.
-
A word to the wise: not to allow time for full grieving can result in lingering sadness, sometimes guilt and often impairs the future health and wellbeing of the individual.
-
As you slowly move back into life, decide what mementoes of your loved one you will share with family members, those you will keep and those you will display. Remembering is important.
-
If you have allowed yourself the time to fully grieve, you will have no lingering sadness. You will have a deep sense of love and appreciation for your loved one, and a joyous anticipation of the future.
-
Make a conscious decision to live fully for the rest of your life – and you will truly be expressing gratitude for the gift of life. |
