Welcome to the
Sea of Acceptance and the
Feel it to Heal it Movement (™)
Lois Hall - Public Health Nurse &
Grief Recovery Specialist once said:
"Unresolved grief is the #1 unaddressed public health issue
of our day, and 100% of us grieve".
Are you feeling stuck and not sure where to turn next?
Maybe you can't eat right, sleep right, and you lost your concentration somewhere along this difficult journey. Maybe you are feeling grief fog.
Are some of your friends and family acting like strangers and some strangers are acting like friends and family?
Many of us were taught how to gain things, but never taught how to lose things (especially people and relationships). Many of us (like I was) are grief illiterate and grief phobic.
Is this you? If so, please read on.
It turns out you are probably not broken, but rather stuck and don't need to be fixed, but rather witnessed.
While we may not be responsible for our losses, we are 100% responsible for finding our way forward, dealing with the losses.
It turns out that the "Best way out of this pain, is through this pain".
Our goal is not to get rid of our grief (it lasts a lifetime), but see if we can grow as our grief shrinks.
We all grieve differently on different timelines. Nobody should tell a person how they should grieve.
Having said that, building and following a "Healthy grief recovery journey", is very much doable and it is best described in my tag line "Feel It To Heal It".
You can't heal what you can't feel.
I should know, as I have been widowed twice, 24 years apart. My journey also included taking two different Grief Recovery Workshops, servng on the Hospice Peterborough Board of Directors (pay it forward), and getting certified by two of the leading Grief Educator programs (Grief Recovery Institute, and David Kessler Institute).
So if you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, please consider taking a "Grief Recovery Workshop". Your local Hospice may offer free workshops. There are also very experienced certified Grief Recovery Sherpas like myself who can guild you.
There is no easy button, no fast forward button, and grief has a long shelf life with no expiry date. It turns out that how we grieve matters.
So if our grief is to last our lifetime, why not get on with the inevitable and Feel It To Heal It".
