Why Do Some People Heal Faster?

Did you ever why some people seem to walk the journey through grief and loss faster than you? Well, I say give that thought up because we all walk this journey in our own time. But the key is to fell the pain and keep moving forward with life. Oh, I know sometimes it feels like our life has stopped because of our loss, but remember in reality our life does not stop. We still have to forge forth into living life. I found that as I got back into a routine of work, household chores and even getting out socially I was able to heal and keep moving ahead. Don’t worry about how fast you heal, just be certain with each passing day that you will.

Healing Your Life

There are many ways to heal and many resources to aid in the healing process.  One of the resources I found helpful was the books by Louise Hay.  She is a spiritual teacher and through Louise’s healing techniques and positive philosophy, millions have learned how to create more of what they want in their lives, including more wellness in their bodies, minds, and spirits.

Lessons From Loss are Lessons in Living Life

There are many lessons I have learned through loss, and I am coming to understand now that I probably knew these lessons all along, in other words they were within me, my core, who I am. However it took the tragedy of loss for me to remember those lessons and have the courage to take action and affirm how precious life is. I am not here to dwell on loss but rather support you in life.

Healing a broken heart can be done with time, courage and the desire to heal. Going through the grieving process and healing comes from within but we are not meant to walk the journey alone. Asking for the support of family and friends is necessary and perhaps spiritual healing from clergy or any spiritual advisor. From whomever gives you comfort, they too will help you to living life again.

Loss can bring clarity to your life and to the things that matter most, don’t ignore that. There is no going back for a do over, but there is another day to live a life of joy. Take each day as it comes, be grateful for where you are and what you have NOW, and be open to new possibilities. You can’t change the past, but you can direct the wind in your sails for the future.

The Journey Through the Grieving Process

There is no simple way through the grieving process, I know because I’ve been there.

In 2005 I lost my Mom and husband within a month of each other and later that same year an uncle. I have lost relatives to death before, but this was different. This was the first parent I’ve lost and the only husband I’ve ever had. When someone this close to us dies, we are devastated –on an emotional, physical and spiritual level. I hadn’t had much of a chance to grieve the loss of my mother when my husband passed and now I was grieving a spouse. All my hopes and dreams came crashing in after losing my husband, my life partner.

Initially you find your own way to grieve and then with the help of family and friends hopefully you were guided as I was to outside resources for help.

Initially I recall reading a book that talked about some essential points for the grieving-healing process, I hope you find these points helpful.

1. Recognize the significance of your loss
2. Tell people the story of your relationship with your loved one, in other words talk about what your loved one meant in your life

1. Be sure you have a safe environment when talking and seeking comfort
2. Gaining some knowledge of the grief process by reading or talking to a counselor or clergyman will help
