When someone we love passes away, grief quickly settles in our heart and there is a void that no other person is able to fill. And sometimes, one of the most difficult things about grief is that the world doesn’t stop, although ours have, and we feel that’s unfair.
Those around us simply turn to their routines, and it seems like everything is moving with a frantic speed while we are still standing still, wondering how can we possibly move on without that one person who was the center of our world and the reason for our existence.
If you’ve ever experienced the loss of a loved one, you know how difficult it is when everyone expects from you to just move on and be okay, when you actually aren’t. Losing a loved one puts us in a difficult place, because the pressure we feel from the outside world sometimes leads to rushed decisions and choices that don’t actually help us build a more secure future for ourselves, just force us to try and avoid the grief, which is never an easy thing to do.
The thing is that not everyone experiences grief in the same way. While many say it’s a universal feeling, some of us overcome it easier than the rest. This doesn’t mean we should set timetables or deadlines on when exactly we should let go of it and become stronger, more stable emotionally, more social, or more optimistic about what the future holds. No, because someone looks like they’ve moved on quickly, it shouldn’t pressure you into doing the same, and that’s very important to remember.
There could be days when you feel like you are stronger than yesterday and almost like yourself again. And there will also be days when getting out of bed is an accomplishment by itself.
