"We can transform loss into growth, change into insight and suffering into joy if we turn and face that which frightens us most about ourselves and our changing circumstances."

"Will I ever feel normal again?" |
The loss or death of a partner, family member, child, unborn child, or friend can make it feel as if your world has imploded. If we were to draw a map of bereavement feelings, it would closely resemble the rockiest mountain range: up one moment and down the next!
Grief temporarily changes how our brains and bodies function, making it difficult to do all of the things we associate with the best versions of ourselves. This is why most people say they feel slower, heavier, or that they just don't feel like themselves after a critical loss. Your loved one was an integral part of your life. Thus, it will take a while--sometimes up to two years--to get accustomed to living without them. Even then, it is normal to feel sad or yearn for the person who died, especially at birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, etc. |
