3 Steps To Cope With Death
The further we journey down the street of life, we discover that we have more deceased friends & relatives than we have alive. Just this year alone, I've met more people who will be spending the holiday season celebrating the fallen opposed to celebrating the holiday. Holidays come & go but once we lose a loved one, they are gone forever. It can be overwhelming attempting to observe a holiday if you are not able to channel your emotions into a place of peace. Here are 3 ways to help you cope with mourning a loved one during the holiday season.
Do As They Would Do
One way to cope with the loss of a loved one is to do as they would do. Try listening to their favorite song or crafting up their favorite food. Wear attire that they would be wearing this time of the year or partaking in an activity that they loved. A lot of people believe that occupying themselves to keep someone off their mind is a healthy approach but it's more therapeutic to keep your special person fresh on your mind & not bottled up. Honoring them by doing the things they would be doing is an awesome & beneficial approach to coping.
Reach Out To Them
Coping mechanism #2 is to reach out to your deceased loved one. Talk to them before you meditate or writing a letter to them is great way to un-bottle emotions. Balloon release ceremonies allow healing individuals attach last word letters to a balloon & whoo-saw as they let it all go. Mediating is the most effective way to clear your mind & listen for a response. Everyone on the planet holds on to words they wish they would have said & releasing these words will brighten your mood.
Happy Thoughts
Remember when we did so & so? Keep all of your happy moments of a loved one on deck. Busying yourself to keep people off your mind is a terrible approach. Sit back, close your eyes & remember things that your loved one did to make you smile. Reminisce fun stories & breathtaking moments will construct never-ending joy that will warm the heart.
