Finding Your Way Through Grief and Loss
Grief is a normal, natural, universal response when experiencing loss of any kind. Grief is the conflicting feelings caused by the end of or change in a familiar pattern of behavior. That means grief is not just about death. Its about divorce, job loss, moving, health changes, estrangement, seasons of change, loss of relationships and friendships, dreams that did not come to fruition. If something in your life has changed and it hurts, that is grief and it deserves to be acknowledged.
Life after a loss can be hard, painful and even confusing. You may vacillate between wanting to isolate and be left alone, yet desiring to be seen, heard, connected and supported. Everyone grieves differently and the duration and components of grief are unique to each individual.
Griefwork is laborious, not linear, and it takes time. Time itself does not heal; it is what you do within that time that matters. Intentional effort and allowing yourself to grieve makes way for the heart to heal.
You do not need to traverse the unknown terrain of grief and loss alone. Christian grief coaching is available to support you. If you are ready to make a transformational pivot in your healing after loss, contact Laurie at Anchored Horizons today!
