A terrible loss may shake us to our very core and leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, and burdened with sadness. However, there is always a glimmer of hope for solace and recovery, even in the depths of hopelessness. Keep in mind that rehabilitation involves time and patience, but that it is possible to endure the pain and emerge stronger with the right outlook and support.

The first stage in the healing process is recognizing and expressing the wide variety of complex emotions that are experienced with loss. Give yourself permission to grieve, whether you are mourning alone or grieving with anger. Create a sacred space where you may express your emotions to a greater power, whether that power is God, the universe, or your own sense of spirituality. If you include a spiritual presence in your healing process, you can get assistance and guidance on this difficult journey.

Even if it may be difficult to recover from a terrible loss by finding joy, it's crucial to keep in mind that healing requires accepting the light despite the darkness. Consider the happy times you experienced before the loss and the simple things you might do to start experiencing those times of joy once more. It could involve engaging in activities that give you joy, talking to loved ones, or practicing self-care. You make room for healing to develop in your life by intentionally deciding to let moments of joy into it.

The secret to healing is not avoiding or eliminating the pain, but finding bravery and respect for the scars that define our path. As you express your sadness to your higher power, give thanks for the moments of support, resiliency, and growth that have come as a result of the loss. Accepting your wounds and the lessons you've learned can help you feel strong and give your recovery path meaning.

You've experienced something heartbreaking, something that has cut you to the core. It may feel deep and raw in this moment, but there is a way to find healing. Right now, how are you feeling about this loss? Are you angry? Or is your mind heavy with sorrow? Or some of both? Take some time to vocalize these feelings to your higher power, to invite God into your healing process. Now, let's reflect back to the time before the loss. Recall a moment of light and joy you experienced. Ask yourself, "What is something small I can do to begin feeling this light again?" Say this thing to yourself. Decide to do this today. Now, ask yourself, "Was there anything I noticed today that lifted my spirit?" Share this with God and give thanks for that moment. Your loss will always be a part of who you are, but as you continue sharing your grief with God, your open wounds can heal and you may even discover gratitude for the scars.
