Forever Shameless - Traumatic Loss Grief and Peer Support

ITS NOT YOUR FAULT

Loss is not “catching”! Be there for others going through it - sooner or later u will go through it too. Loss is part of being alive like birth n death. Trick is to never lose your humanity, your love, your kindness❤️

You have to get rid of the guilt/weight u carry. Time and possibly good therapy maybe a support group is the only way. You must befriend God again this time knowing he can take away whomever you love or make them suffer despite your prayers. Chanting the gaytri mantra ( or another) walking in nature, talking to the loved one u lost is the way to inner peace.

Just to know that you are capable of carrying that pain and loss and still live takes TIME. But that first takes so many days and nights one day at a time. Netflix, nature, sunshine, soaking in a bath, walks even talking to trees and flower or working and sleeping can get you through that one day that leads to another that leads to TIME.

Kindness as in ordinary acts or feeding the hungry or teaching/clothing/ feeding children in need or being there for someone going thru what you have been thru are your saving graces.

You can do this. You were not taken because u needed to do this and who knows what else after. But the decision to leave u alive cant be random.

Have to learn to love yourself, be patient with yourself and forgive yourself. One can only do the best they can with the knowledge and capacity they have at the time. There can be no should haves and could haves - there is only the past and the present… the future will slowly come about.

There is so much to learn from the reselience of trees from summer to Fall to Winter to Spring.

Dont ignore the flower that falls on u or at your feet as u walk by or the heart shaped pink clouds before sunset or a precious dream… Love reaches out to u from the beyond.

Walk on the grass talk to the trees look up at the grand sky nothing can heal you faster❤️ adopt a pet who you grow to love and depends on you❤️❤️❤️you will never be alone again or without a purpose. Love and forgive uourself and others. Lear move on.

Learn that loss n death are a part of all lives n move forward… just keep moving forward

Words from my book The Strength That Stays 🌹

Normalise loss, disapointment, betrayal, injury, sickness even violence as a part of life n teach children to take the good n leave the bad from every situation they face or person they meet. Learning and acceptance are key while one aspires to be an integral part of the “good” in the world ❤️

Dont let the world change your smile!
