Life Is Too Precious & Short

As I turn 60, I know how precious Life is and that it’s getting shorter. So, I am passionate about being in the moment and enjoying life to the very last moment. I am no longer drowning in the regrets of the past, nor am I obsessing about the future. I am grateful for each day and look forward to enjoying it. The Grief Recovery Method taught me how to take action to deal with unfinished business in my relationships so that emotional painful feelings that were stuffed down and avoided can no longer impact my capacity for Happiness!

It is sad that so many people, no matter how much they have, as far as material possessions, they still are not happy! This is mainly because they are still emotionally unfulfilled! So many of us carry around a great deal of “unfinished business” in our relationships. We do this, mostly, because no one ever taught us how to deal with the emotional matters that we face on a daily basis. This unfinished business is not just about those relationships that have ended because of death, although those feelings of loss can be overwhelming. It can also be related to ongoing relationships with those we like or love, and even those we deal with through our jobs.

“Unfinished business,” from an emotional perspective, involves those things that we wish might be, or have been, different, better, or more in any relationship.  It might also be about unmet hopes and dreams that never came to be. Sometimes, it is about not getting something, on an emotional level, from someone because they simply could not, or would not, provide it.

Whatever the reasons, that sense of being emotionally incomplete can leave us wanting and longing for things we wished could have been different, better, or more. In a very real sense, it leaves you feeling a sense of grief. Grief is something that we feel whenever we are forced to deal with any unexpected or unwanted change in our daily living. Unfortunately, most of us have been taught to cover up our feelings of sadness and suppress them, but this does not make them go away. Instead, we hold them deep inside, never realizing how they impact our sense of well-being. Instead of processing those feelings, we continue to hold them inside and they accumulate over our lifetime. The more we accumulate these painful feelings in our hearts, the less room we have for true happiness!

The Grief Recovery Method is all about taking action to deal with the unfinished business in emotional relationships. This is certainly a method of action to follow when you lose someone to death, but it is also extremely effective in improving ongoing relationships as well. This approach will help you to discover exactly what it is that is unfinished for you so that you can take the necessary steps to become “emotionally complete.” It is designed to help you safely sort through all of those feelings of emotional pain that you have stuffed inside and deal with them in a positive way, so that they no longer negatively impact your life.

Hurricane Ian & Its Impact Generates Grief For Many

/in /by

“I’ve lost everything!” is the echo heard from the aftermath of this past storm! Hurricane Ian has been devastating for so many people. It’s hard to fathom the emotional and psychological impact of this devastating storm and the amount of property destruction leaving many people without homes and for some, the death of loved ones. People are not only grieving the loss of their homes and precious belongings, but they are also grieving a loss of safety, security, comfort, and trust in the familiarity and predictability of everyday life.

It would only be normal and natural to experience a number of conflicting emotions when your life is dramatically altered by a loss of this kind. These conflicting emotions may include a heightened sense of fear, confusion, anger, devastation, loneliness, isolation, and trepidation. This is the fullness of what grief is.

Grief is the result of the end of, or change in, a familiar pattern of behavior. Any large-scale event, such as Hurricane Ian, or any other natural disaster, results in significant loss and changes to familiar patterns of behavior. The actions by federal, state & local agencies have already begun to offer economic support to these people. Rebuilding will happen, and business will reopen, but one area that’s rarely addressed is the ongoing emotional pain and grief that will continue to be felt by everyone who lived through this event or who had loved ones displaced as a result. The grief for those who have lost property and a sense of security, not to mention the loss of loved ones is tremendous. The grief and loss that these people are facing, if not dealt with, may follow them the rest of their lives.

If Ian, or any other natural disaster, or any traumatic event has impacted you, you would be well served to take grief recovery action. The sense of fear and loss of safety generated by that event could otherwise be something that impacts you for years to come.

The Grief Recovery Method offers direction in how to deal, not only with those relationships to people that may have been impacted as a result of such an event, but also with the loss of possessions and sense of safety. It’s a step-by-step approach to saying “goodbye” to what has been lost, so that you can better face a future that is perhaps quite different from the one you expected. It offers you the opportunity to take emotional care of yourself and your loved ones.
