Grieving The Loss of a Loved One and Moving Forward

Relationships that are meaningful to us are essential to our happiness. To feel connected and joyful, we require the human bond, and we enjoy life much more when we share it with those we care about. However, there are instances when we must be away from our loved ones. One of the hardest things we'll ever have to do is cope with loss. Everyone deals with sorrow in their own unique way, and some of us never do. When we lose someone we care about, our universe and our tranquilty are thrown off, and nothing appears to be right. There is a future that will never exist and a past that we wish to return to, and we feel as if we can't be more removed from reality and the current moment.

We prefer to oppose the change as much as possible, attempting to maintain our existing level of comfort and security since change is difficult.

But life is always changing—sometimes for the worse, such as when we lose someone we love; sometimes for the better, such as when we move to a new house; and occasionally for the unexpected, such as when we go to another nation and fall in love with it.

Everything changes when we lose someone we care about – due to death or simply time and changing circumstances.

This isn't something we expected or intended to happen. We could question whether we'll ever be the same if we revert to our former selves. We cannot and will not do so. We can only cope by changing ourselves after such a severe shift.

• When you lose someone important to you, your sadness never goes away completely, but you may learn to manage it over time.
• Talking with loved ones about your sadness, recalling all of the wonderful things in your life, engaging in your favorite hobbies, and visiting with a grief counselor are all excellent coping tactics.
  
• Although you will never "get over" the loss of a loved one, the painful sensations you are experiencing will reduce as you come to grips with it.
• While your terrible emotions will take precedence, the death of a loved one may teach you a lot, such as how wonderful life and love can be.

Will The Grief Go Away?

When a loved one dies or separaates from you, your natural instinct isn't to say, "Hey, it's okay, this is just a lesson." It's natural to feel frustrated, furious, confused, wounded, and despair instead. It takes some time to embrace this traumatic event as one to learn from, and that's perfectly OK. Until then, you may start coping with the loss and moving ahead with the following strategies:

Share your grief and sorrow with people who are close to you. Do you have a close friend or family member with whom you feel at ease? Instead of avoiding your sentiments, talking about your loss and the feelings that come with it can help you handle them.

• Consider everything you still have; consider all that is positive in your life. You are undoubtedly in a terrible and challenging circumstance, but that does not imply that your entire life is miserable. Remind yourself of all the good that still exists and find solace in it.
• Spend some time doing activities that you enjoy. It may be difficult at first to resume some of your favorite hobbies, but it is critical that you continue to do what you like, whether it is jogging, dancing, drawing, knitting, reading, or simply chatting with your friends.
• Make an appointment with a grief counselor. These professionals can assist you in processing your loss and coming to terms with it so that you may move on with your life.

Will I Ever Be able to Get Over This Heartbreak?

Let's begin by rephrasing the question, "Will I Ever Get Over This Loss?" Will you ever stop mourning your loved one? Will you ever be able to quit wishing they were still alive or present in your life? No, that is not the case. Because, well, you loved them, you'll never fully recover from the loss of a loved one. The fact that the loss is so tough to accept demonstrates how much love there is.

People frequently advise mourning people to "get over it," but why? Would you be able to cope with the death of someone who meant so much to you? Why would you ever contemplate doing anything like that? When a loved one dies, kids are frequently advised to "get over it" by their classmates, who say things like, "So, your grandma died." She was in her eighties! 'Forget about it!' We'll never know how this child felt about their grandmother. They might have been quite close, so they're not going to forgive themselves.

However, as you begin to grieve your loss, the awful sensations you're experiencing will fade. And allowing yourself to feel those feelings is crucial to moving this process forward. I understand that being irritated or furious is unpleasant, and you'd like to avoid it. Avoidance, on the other hand, will just repress your feelings and make the mourning process more difficult for yourself. So, do yourself a favor and acknowledge that you're going through a terrible time, but know that you'll get through it.

When Will I Be Able to Move On?

Finally, "When will I be able to move on?" To put it another way, when will the suffering end? When will you be able to resume your usual routine?

To be honest, it will get easier if you start to find purpose in the loss and value the connection you had, regardless of how brief it was. When you think about it, life is quite incredible because we may find someone or something that means so much to us that we experience grief and sadness when that person or thing is no longer here. Can you imagine going through life without experiencing such great love that would later cause such grief? We'd live a life devoid of feeling.

So, do yourselves a favor and live – in the name of their memory and the good times you shared.
