Moving on after the death of a loved one, is one of the most dense and challenging experiences life can make us endure.
It involves a profound journey of bereavement, adjustment, healing and acceptance.
Especially if the passing happened suddenly, the pain of loss can be so devastating that it makes us ponder on life’s fragility, which can change in the blink of an eye.
Grief is a natural and necessary response to loss. Embracing your feelings is a crucial step towards healing.
Allow yourself to feel the full range of emotions that accompany it, as denying or suppressing your sorrow can prolong the healing process.
Accept the support from others, allow their help to provide comfort and love during this painful time.
Sharing your thoughts and feelings can be incredibly cathartic.
Often, connecting with those who have experienced similar losses can offer unique and helpful perspectives.
If your sorrow feels unmanageable, a grief therapist can be invaluable, offering coping strategies to help soothe your pain.
As grief can take a toll on your mind and body, ensure you take care of your physical health.
Push yourself to get out of bed, to eat a balanced meal and to maintain regular exercise, all which will help bolster your resilience during these daunting times - as without, one can easily drift into depression.
Creating new routines can help you adjust to life without your loved one.
The absence of familiar patterns can be jarring, but establishing new habits can provide a sense of stability and normalcy.
Engaging in activities you enjoy is not only a distraction but also a way to reconnect with life.
Finding moments of happiness and satisfaction is important.
Make sure to honour your own life and take it moment by moment, day by day.
There is no set timeline for moving on. Patience is crucial as healing from loss is a gradual process - each person’s grief journey is unique. Be kind to yourself and acknowledge that there will be good days and bad days.
Finding new ways and means to live without this person in your daily life is extremely difficult yet with time, possible.
Moving on after the death of a loved one is a deeply personal voyage marked by moments of profound sorrow and gradual healing.
Never forgotten and always with us, there will be moments where an event, a smell or a location will elicit the grief. In these moments, offer yourself even more compassion.
Through being patient with yourself, caring for your health, creating new routines and memorialising your loved one, you can navigate this turbulent journey and eventually find a new equilibrium in life.
Death, is sadly a part of life which we will all face at some point.
Embracing each day, letting go of things and being present will follow the philosophy to “live as if you will die tomorrow”.
We never know when we will succumb to our inevitable fate, which makes it even more crucial to live, laugh and learn each and every day.
