Don't Let Go....

5/3/2014

0 Comments

 
A common statement made after the loss of a loved one is "you need to let go." But that statement has different meanings for many people and actually hurts some more than others. Moving forward and recovering from loss is important but telling someone to let go may be felt as dismissive. When loved ones are with us in our thoughts, memories and in some cases our personality and behavior, letting go is almost impossible and may just be a wrong choice of words.  

You need to carry on, work through grief and find new happiness, but the work of grieving is remembering your loved one as you move forward. Let your loved one guide you as you move forward; and that is not "letting go", that is allowing them to hold your hand.
