Processing Grief and Sadness

The gift of life comes with stipulations, It has a beginning and an end. In between we seek to find a sense of purpose, to build meaningful relationships and deep connections. We all know this is true, but it doesn’t mean we are prepared for the reality of it. Life is also fragile, relationships are not always sustainable. They can be disappointing or be abruptly severed and can creates overwhelming grief and sadness.

All loss is a transition and life doesn’t seem to care whether or not you are prepared to handle that transition. Life doesn’t check to see how important a relationship was for you or how attached you became, because life is always changing. During these transitions, it is not uncommon to feel unsettled, isolated, lost, confused or detached. During these changes, our neurology needs to make readjustment as we grapple with the realization we can no longer be how we were because neurologically we can no longer hold those we lost in the same way

Grief can be felt as devastating world events unfold, where hearts touched with overwhelming sadness, sorrow or compassion. In these events we empathize and place ourselves themselves side by side with strangers we don’t know, experiencing grief, even though the loss is ours.

Grief and sadness remind us the bonds we once held need to change, that it is time to rebuild and start healing. The process of grief is the first step in letting go, giving an opportunity for our inner reality to compensate for loss and rearrange how and what we hold dear.
