Letting Go After the Loss of a Loved One
Our first thoughts to help us deal with the loss is to try and rationalize it. That in the long run their passing was for the best because they were sick and suffering, or they were growing old and fragile. Or we were lucky to have had them for so long.
There are stages to grief, and in order to heal it is important to go through each of those stages. Allow yourself to go through each of these stages, but try to recognize within yourself if you find that you are not able to move on.
There will be many tears that flow. You must let the tears flow and do not be ashamed of them. You are going to deal with many emotions, and the level of these will depend on the circumstances of the death, the relationship of the loved one to you, and their age.
As you yourself age in life chances are you are going to experience the death of different loved ones as well as friends. There may be the death of a parent, spouse, brother or sister or child. Although the tears will fall with each of them, the pain will be different according to the relationship. Nonetheless although different, no less painful.
It is true that time heals all wounds. You may not think that at the time of the death, and don't be under the impression that every time from this moment on that when you think of the person who has passed on, that you won't feel a twinge in your heart. You will, and the reason is because this person lives on in your heart. However, now knowing this, when you think of your dear one, and you feel that twinge, smile and enjoy some time together through memories.
Memories are a gift of life. This is why it is so important to store up fond memories with everyone you come in contact with that has meaning in your life. By doing this its your comfort zone for that time in the future when one of you has to say goodbye.
Your final farewell should only be to say goodbye for now until we meet again. If you have stored your memories well, then you can meet again whenever you like just by taking a walk down memory lane.
