Grief is an emotional response to a significant loss. It’s when you feel heartbroken.
Learning to recover from grief is an essential great life builder skill.
When we get injured and sustain a deep skin laceration that continues to bleed, we go to the hospital to get it sutured resulting in recovery.
What do we do when we have a broken heart that continues to bleed? We intellectualize and think we can get over an emotional wound. This is a trap. Grief is emotional. It’s not intellectual and it’s not spiritual.
We need courage to engage emotionally because it is looked down upon by those who do not understand the process. A loss is not replaceable as we think. We grieve (feel) through a loss and then we recover. Otherwise, unresolved grief hides as depression or anxiety.
A great life builder must learn the process of grief recovery. Here’s a link to grief recovery.
