Grief recovery

Early in life we learn that getting things creates happiness and a good life. We learn how to get and achieve things, but we don’t know what to do when we lose them.

It is important to be able to heal our hearts when they are broken. It is not about broken brains and that means that only theoretical comments are not helpful. I give you a few examples of those: 

• Don’t be sad, you can have more kids.
• Buy a new dog
• Don’t be sad. It will be better next time.

These kinds of comments are said in all kindness by people who mean well. It is correct intellectually, but it is often not relevant when it comes to healing the broken heart. This might create frustration and make us run away from the feelings. Maybe we think that our feelings are wrong and not normal and we might start isolating them, hiding them away in our backpacks where they will continue to take energy. We might say that we are well, smile, pretend for family and friends in order not to make them worried. 

So, What do I actually mean by grief recovery? The method means that you take control over the effect of what you have experienced, instead of letting it take control over you and your life. It means finding a new meaning, keeping the good memories, allowing yourself to be sad or other feelings you might have, talking about it regardless of how other people react, because you are in a safe place, doing grief recovery individually or in a small safe group with a certified grief coach.   

It means getting tools to meet losses and grief. We know that life doesn’t come with any guarantees, but grief recovery gives knowledge and freedom to move on and has a positive impact on the ability to find happiness again. A processed or unprocessed past might determine your future.
