We know that grief is the normal and natural reaction to loss. Any loss, whether due to death, divorce, the ending of a relationship, loss of trust or even redundancy, can cause feelings of grief and despair as we think about our unfulfilled hopes, dreams and expectations. Those memories and feelings can often seem overwhelming and the future frightening and bleak.
Contrary to popular wisdom, time does not heal emotional wounds. Regardless of when your loss occurred, it is important to know that recovery is possible and that there are actions which can be taken to heal your heart and make you feel whole again.

Some people choose to find a resting place for their loved ones that they can visit often and feel comfort in their presence being around, and others like to sit on commemorative benches that they’ve commissioned with an engraving in their favorite place. Moving beyond death is not easy, and learning how to grieve takes time because not everybody knows how to do that. Feeling whole again does come with time, but time does not heal everything. You do need something to support you.
As a society we are notoriously bad at dealing with grief. We are told that ‘time heals’, ‘to be strong’, ‘keep busy’, ‘don’t feel sad’. But it is normal to feel sad, fearful, disoriented, confused or even angry when we have suffered a significant loss or an unexpected change in our lives. Although sadness is normal and natural pain does not need to be. It is possible to live more fully in the present when what was painful about the past is completed.
