Denying our grief

27 Replies

In denying our grief we also deny our healing. There's no way around it, there's freedom in our griefs, don't put it off don't try to walk around it no matter how much it hurts. I was furious in therapy today, i cried while my hands turn into fists, im hurting but that's just part of the journey to get where i want to be. Sending you love and hugs

It’s so hard. Sometimes I hate having feelings. I wonder if I’ll ever have enjoyable feelings again, instead of the painful ones.

Heard a sermon at church that spoke about how God sees your tears. Let the tears flow and in your tears, our tears we continue to do what we are suppose to do. Cry then lend a helping hand to someone, cry then go out and visit your lonely neighbor, cry then give a smile to someone who is sad, cry and still trust in God that He is a part of your journey.

Thanks for your words. I have to really learn to grieve. I want to cry & yell & hit things to try to get the hurt out. Last month I lost my mom and this week I lost my dog of 14 years. He had been through so much with me. And I get hurting about my dog and that makes me want to call my mom and then I remember she is gone and then I am getting hit by double grief. This hurts so bad my heart feels like it is going to just stop. I want to be with others grieving. i do have a psychologist that I go to once a week. I am glad I have her.

Im really sorry for your losses, i always believe mothers are sacred and not having them with us is one of the most painful things, im sorry about your dog, cherish the good memories, i can't imagine life without mine

My brother who was like a twin to me a year younger than me passed away before his 21st birthday 22 years ago. I’m still grieving. It’s worse than usual this year because I’m stronger and can handle more memories and feelings that were so dark and secretive because of the way he died. I’m coping in some ways which are good and some a little to distant like I’m trying to disconnect from reality... maybe this years memories are a bit much for me at times but I’m still breathing and there must be a purpose in recalling him it’s just hard to think about him because his true self although beautiful kind funny as all heck attached to him are the dark parts especially when he killed himself, I have a picture burned in my mind but I allow myself to think of it in order to try to get over it but I realize I never will get over it never be desensitized to such a horrific sight. At least he looked peaceful. I need to tell my therapist a secret of what I saw that bothers but I haven’t been going to therapy. If I can manage one of these days ill take the time be brave not hold it in any longer. I still pray for him just in case he needs me still. I had a dream he was in white with a new white car and he was smiling big and he was as bright shining as a star. 🌟
