In the years I’ve been helping Survivors find a pathway just beyond the devastating pain and grief, I have to tell you… I’ve had some pretty unfortunate stories shared with me regarding prior attempts to get grief support. Whether it’s being told to pack up daughter’s items and not mention her going forward, the dulling of senses and emotions through unnecessary medication, being inappropriately labelled with some illness – and then there was the one that involved being handed a light bulb and asked what thoughts she had about it…
I’ve heard over and over how someone actually tried to get help and, for one reason or another, it didn’t work out… The person ultimately feels like she wasn’t moving forward – and, even worse in some cases, feels she has taken a step back.
Well, if you’re one of those people… If you’ve tried to no avail in the past… If you’re currently getting support, but feeling the results are mildly effective at best… My message for you is simple…
DON’T GIVE UP !
KEEP SEARCHING !
FIND SOMEONE ELSE !
Much like virtually any other profession or service you can name – whether doctor, teacher, minister or auto mechanic… All Grief Support Is Not The Same. And Neither Are All Resources Offering The Same.
Don’t just accept things as they are. Don’t fall into the dreaded perspective that if you haven’t found an answer yet, an answer must not exist. I’m here to tell you there are answers out there for you… There is help for you if you’re open to it - and willing to make the necessary commitment to getting there. So, keep searching until you find someone who works for you. After all, you deserve nothing less. And my guess is your lost loved one looking at you from above feels much the same.
And just remember... Nothing changes until the required change begins to be fostered within you...
