Grief…

Email: Just lost my mother to cancer. How to deal with grief? (HK)

Heart-felt condolences. Grieving doesn’t have to be a process that keeps us rooted in fear, sadness. Change as cycles happens each moment in our lives. Nothing is ever constant.

Whenever we lose something, somebody we love, it’s important to nurture selves, truly feel the weight of what we are experiencing, at our own pace. May seem we’re pushed into deeper states of sadness, but giving selves permission to be natural, creates space to begin healing processes. Allow the full range of emotions to flow without resistance.

Sometimes, we rush into activities to take our minds off grief, only makes healing more difficult. Unless we compassionately listen to our emotions, it grows in intensity. Feelings manifest in negatively powerful, less comfortable ways.

Consciously, honestly, openly embrace emotions to soothe sorrows of the moment. Our inner strength, vulnerability taps into natural healing abilities. We will feel despondent briefly, but by expressing our true feelings, we surely feel better, brighter.

Accept our loss fully (people we love always have a special place in our heart). Then, simply, courageously, calmly continue life’s journey with a positive, energetic outlook. Our grief is ephemeral, just like moments of happiness, it will also come to pass.
