Permission to Heal
This episode looks at what prevents loss parents from healing in a way that would be best for them as well as those around them.
No one likes to sit in grief because it is uncomfortable, and when we are faced with uncomfortable things, our instinct is to do whatever we can to make it better as fast as possible. We are given all kinds of quick-fix advice on so many things in life to deal with the uncomfortableness of pain, but this is something we are forced to just sit in pain with. There is no fix to it, no magic pill or stretching exercise or change of location that will fix what we need to go through and the only way through it is to feel it.
There seems to be a period of time that is deemed acceptable and they seem to be set by people who have never experienced a baby loss themselves. Have you ever noticed this? If you come in contact with a mother who has had a loss she understands without a doubt that this is a long-haul and something that won't have an end date. As time passes it seems to get better but it never actually goes away. Depending on how long it has been since your loss it can look many different ways.
Give yourself permission to heal in your own way on your own timeline.
How would the rest of your life be impacted if you took the time you need to process all the feelings that come with your loss? Wouldn't that be the ultimate version of self-care and listening to your body? If it's something you have never done before or aren't used to doing, I'm urging you to do it now.
Put down the blame stick...
I thought if I punished myself enough it would ensure that I didn't go through that terrible experience for no reason or that I would be sure to not forget them.
This episode ends with a permission slip for you to feel your grief in as long or as little time that it takes, without guilt and in a way that feels right for you.
