How To Best Accept Your Grief & Heal
"When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless." ~ Byron Katie

After a horrendous grief incident acceptance of a new you - who and what you are here and now can be daunting and discouraging. Grief and loss experiences create a new lasting condition that make it impossible to go back to how it was before your grieving circumstance. The reality is that you can't turn back the clock of your life as if you were bringing back an old email you had saved. Authenticity has a way of pointing out the clarity of new conditions as they are. Acceptance of grief reality is a challenge usually not planned for or anticipated.
It is human nature to oppose change. Hanging on to happiness and hope after awful grief can be a bigger than life obstacle. Two big questions raise their ugly heads. WHAT & HOW?
What Shall I Do?
"Give yourself permission to allow this moment to be exactly as it is, and allow yourself to be exactly as you are." ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn
Accept sorrow - really? Why should I want to accept my most sad conditions that grief and loss has given me? Because if you want to understand your grief and heal you simply must. Grief happenings invite other unwanted friends. You have likely realized that grief is accompanied by an avalanche of companions. Some of them are - deep sorrow, fear, hopelessness, clouded vision, uncertainty, and anger. Self-examination is a necessary action unless you wish to permanently hibernate hopelessly with your grief. Moving forward from grief and loss towards hope and healing may require you giving yourself permission to choose between two choices - continued grieving or acceptance of exactly as you are with hope for future happiness and wholeness. The acknowledged and undisputed invitation you should give yourself is to accept the grief incident exactly as it is and reconcile exactly what your new you and new condition really is and look toward a happier future.
In summary what shall you do is make every effort to stop opposing reality. Accept what is here and now and your healing actions will become more simple, fluid and empowering
