Why won't the pain go away? If you're here, it may be because you've been looking for a bereavement counsellor, grief coach, or just about anything to help you feel better following a significant emotional loss.
The pain of loss can be unbearable and can seriously affect your ability to have a happy, healthy life.
The problem is that while grief is a natural emotion following a bereavement or any other personal loss, most of what society teaches us about it and how to deal with it is intellectual.
You can’t fix a feeling using a rational argument. Yet our friends, family and sadly too many professionals do this every day. For example following a bereavement they may say “don’t be upset, at least she’s out of pain now”. While this statement may be partially true, it is emotionally barren.
They’ve moved the subject away from your feelings and on to those of the person who died. This intellectualisation of grief is so endemic we barely notice it anymore.
Unfortunately, the pain of loss cannot be taken away by factually true statements, because the problem is not an intellectual one. It's an emotional one.
Don't keep living in pain - Start feeling better now
The death of a loved one is truly devastating, and it is an experience we will never forget. Feeling better is not about forgetting or pretending the loss never happened. Feeling better is about relieving the emotional pain you are carrying with you on a daily basis so that you can start sleeping better, concentrating, eating and even enjoying your life again. Once you've learned the action steps for handling your grief, you can cherish the memories of your loved one without it turning painful.
