Healing your inner self

Getting through grief doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve forgotten about your loved one who’s passed, it just means that you’ve entered a mental space where it’s no longer an agonizing painful experience whenever you think about him or her.

When I was younger my dad died when I was sixteen, and it took me eleven years after he passed not to be so consumed by my grief nor by my anger before I was able to move on. And now when my mother passed; although it hasn’t quite taken me as long to go through the grieving process or having become as angered by her death, which I think it was because of the fact that not only was my mental state a bit more matured in my 30s than in my teens, but also what I was going through personally with my daughter I think God was preparing me for the day I would have to say goodbye to her as well…

And I think once she died an unfortunate death, my grieving process is definitely much more developed and/or better because not I know things about myself personally and emotionally as well as spiritually that I’ve learned throughout the years of being on this journey with God and my daughter, where I have been fortunate enough to learn some things along the way from being taught but also having undergone therapy has helped me as well as writing about my daughter and/or feelings, just being able to express myself and get them out has really helped me as well!!
