Healing from Loss and Grief

One thing to keep in mind while grieving is the fact that healing looks different for everyone. While some might heal faster, others might take longer to recover from the devastating effect of loss and grief. To one, healing might mean remembering our loved one and smiling again. On the other hand, it might mean feeling a sense of relief from the overwhelming emotions experienced by another.

The Grieving Process

I remember this feeling vividly when my sister passed away. We were on the phone when the call suddenly dropped. I later found out a truck had crashed into the bus she was traveling in. She was one of two people who died at the scene. I waited for her to call me back, as she always did, but she never did. When I got the news, I felt frozen in shock, unable to process what had happened.
