Last week we talked about grieving. I mentioned at one point that grief can be compounded by past experiences. There may be times when you’re feeling more emotion than you need to—a compounded sense of emotion. It may be that you have had past experiences that carry trauma that is not yet resolved and it’s affecting you in the present day. My encouragement to you is to just to consider, are there things that you are going through in your life that you might be feeling a more intense emotion than you need to be. If you can find resolution and healing for some of my past traumatic experiences, then some of my present day won’t feel so difficult and painful.
The other piece I wanted to bring up is that I mentioned going through grief and allowing yourself to feel it is really important. Here’s why: if you allow yourself to feel the very difficult, challenging, uncomfortable emotions that are bound to show up if you are allowing grief to play its natural role, you will not always have to feel so horrible. It’s when we suppress, minimize, disassociate, deny what we’re feeling that in the future it shows up again full fledged in our face.
If you’re allowing yourself to feel, be loved, and be supported, still choose the perspective you want to have. Still let the sunshine hit your face, even though you feel the sadness. Life can feel bright again for you. Reach out for the support that is available to you.
