THE IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING AND EXPRESSING YOUR FEELINGS
As overwhelming as your emotions may seem after the loss of a child, they are expressions of where you are in the terrain of your grief journey. Rather than deny , inhibit, self-treat, or go around them( all of which can be tempting to do), We want to help you recognize and learn from them. Yes, It's actually becoming friendly with your feelings that will help you heal, or become whole again. It's helpful to think of your feelings as teachers in a way. The healing of grief starts with an awareness of our feelings. So, as much as you would want to run from your feelings of profound grief, we gently encourage you to be open to your teachers!
