Much to much do we hinder ourselves from properly grieving. Much to much do we fight back and choke on our tears. We think its not okay to be sad, to mourn, to fully feel our hurt. Well, guess what? Grieving is the best thing you can do for your emotional health. Now keep in mind there is a time limit, there is a time for sadness and a time for happiness. Life is all about balance.
I find myself crying at movies, love songs, friends stories and sometimes nothing at all. What I am realizing is my grief is looking for any chance to release itself. Not allowing yourself to experience emotions and ride it out fully prohibits you from truly moving on. Just this past fathers day, I realized I never truly mourned my father's death...8 years ago! I mean geez I went to school the very next day. Yeah, I am a super strong young woman who has overcome the world. But truly being successful in life means I've handled old business and moved on to higher heights.
As I looked back over the years I saw the residue of hurt and sadness manifest itself. I've always been a realist and I've just taken lives woes and gotten pass them. But as I grow, I see the need in feeling emotions and experiencing them fully, only then can I truly move on.
With all that said, I hope you too can see the need and internal desire your heart has to feel and not be constricted or rushed, or even ignored. Forget what society says, forget the pressure you may feel to be a man or woman of steel and allow yourself to be free and truly whole !!
:-)Love you!!
