When loss enters your life, it can feel as though everything familiar is suddenly out of reach. The very concept of life seems distant, overshadowed by grief. This overwhelming feeling is a natural and necessary part of early grief because the magnitude of your loss demands all your attention. During this time, grief becomes the primary lens through which you perceive everything.
However, navigating this period without support can lead to getting stuck in grief. The loss might become the permanent filter through which you see the world, instilling fear and hesitation in your heart. This fear can prevent you from living and loving fully, making you apprehensive about taking risks or embracing new experiences. You might find yourself in a constant state of physical and emotional caution.
This fearful state can manifest in various ways—guilt, hypervigilance, or an overwhelming sense of dread. It keeps you anchored in the past, preventing you from being present and envisioning a future where you can live and love completely.
But there's hope.
