I grieve for what happened, but not what didn't happen. Full acceptance and recovery cannot happen without doing both.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05952500756645034418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-7118674652801978242009-09-10T22:31:58.426-04:002009-09-10T22:31:58.426-04:00Our losses--can we name them?

Can we grieve them properly?<br /><br />Your post has me thinking about the things that are gone that can not be replaced, things stripped away by abuse when I was small such as the belief that I was loveable, that I was pretty (rather than being a sex object), and that I was valuable. It is tragic how many of us lost such things. It hurts to think about it for myself or for others. It is sad. It is wrong.<br /><br />In God, I can face the sadness and accept it. I can also marvel at how God is with me in it all and comforts me and heals me. That truth acknowledged--it is still frightening for me to face all the boxed up feelings that I shoved away in order to live through abuses. <br /><br />Now that I am safe in an abuse-free home, I am slowly opening up to feelings that seems so overwhelming. But once they are out in the open, I make it through them, and then feel better. Sometimes, though, I grab some chocolate or ask my husband to hold me in a hug or look at my counselor with big eyes as I process the pain...Tanya T.

For me, grieving my losses from childhood was an important step to becoming free from depression.I heard somewhere that depression is unresolved grief. It is hard to let ourselves cry, especially when we have been told "just get over it" by authority figures in our lives. For me, I had to let myself cry over things I lost, to move forward.<br /><br />It was definitely worth the process<br /><br />Thanks for the post.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />TammyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-1125430721654636652009-09-10T19:04:14.247-04:002009-09-10T19:04:14.247-04:00Grieving is difficult, especially when the grief i...Grieving is difficult, especially when the grief is for something long past but is still new to me - like my childhood. There is no one to point a finger at, no one to make it better. Grieving also pulls me in and I get stuck in it.

It seems like so many people are in that stage right now and these are some great ideas to help people move through the various stages of grief. Even God understands, He watched His own son ridiculed, mocked, beaten, tortured and murdered on the cross for no reason. He alone understands better than all of us. <br /><br />Love and Hugs ~ KatHeart2Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240536955573366802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-67152325713787443142009-09-10T12:20:14.503-04:002009-09-10T12:20:14.503-04:00Tears are good.
