Are You Stuck or Are You Strong? - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

When you suffer a loss, it hurts. Sometimes it hurts a lot.

In times of loss, what you focus on can be the difference between feeling stuck and sad or feeling strong and sad. We’re human – we don’t like to lose people or things we care deeply about, and when we do lose them, we hurt.

Hurting makes us sad, so “sad” during and after a loss is inevitable. You will feel it, so let those feelings in, and don’t wallow in them.

When you focus on the pain and the loss, you feel more pain and loss. The longer you focus on the pain and the loss, the harder it can be to return to the rhythm of your life.

When you have something else to focus on, you will still feel the loss, and yet you’ll slowly move on. You’ll care for the people or pets who depend on you. You will tend the garden that will die without your attention. You’ll ease back into the rhythm of your work schedule and work friendships. All of that will help you move through the loss.

You may never completely get over the pain of the loss, and you can and will get over the loss by focusing on what you still have and love about your life.
