Endings are difficult, uncertainty is scary, and transition is hard. Unresolved grief , trauma, and/or emotions can become complicated, resulting in behaviors and thought patterns that effect all areas of your life. It can lead to burnout, loss of energy, and emotional imbalance. It can cause isolation, anger, and confusion; hopelessness, loneliness, and despair. While grief will touch everyone, in some way- whether brought on by death , divorce, illness, job loss , trauma, etc.- your story is not anyone else's but your own. There’s no set limit on how long it should take you to “move on” and no “right” way to grieve your situation.

Often, we cling to the notion that we are "human becomings" and that our best moments will arrive down the road...but it just isn't so. Those future moments will be no more special than this one right now (and less so if they contain the inevitable disappointment flowing from a life of conditioned expectations). The way you live this moment is the way you live your life. If you are waiting for it to get better then "waiting" is who you are. Loss , shock, grief and despair are fully part of the human experience. In fact, they are proof of life and evidence of love. Our challenge is to keep going and to find moments of joy again.

You may become confused, sad, angry, or just overwhelmed by life – not sure how to move forward.

Fearful of being misunderstood, judged or like "it" may not work may be the negative thoughts that have developed during such a devastating loss .
