Dealing with Great Loss
When we take the time to write things down, we have a tendency to process our thoughts more efficiently. This workbook is intended to help every individual dealing with a personal, unexpected personal loss of magnitude by giving them the opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings in writing.
Be that grief related to death, divorce, losing your home, retrenchment or being diagnosed with a terminal illness. Losing a very special relationship or even losing a limb. Change that is permanent and unsalvageable has a way of throwing us all a curveball. We have a tendency to continue to mull emotions around in our own minds and eventually, these drive us to depression.
Journaling has been heralded as a very effective way in which to deal with difficult emotions such as these. I have consequently compiled a personal workbook precisely for this specific purpose.
A place where the individual can acknowledge every heart-breaking emotion and difficulty, experienced along their path to healing after a significant traumatic experience. This to reach a point of closure and then acceptance.
With that said, it is always important to remember that healing is a process, not a procedure. It takes time and a lot of it in most cases. Furthermore, that there is no shame in tears, they make us fundamentally human. We don't always have to be strong as a rock.
Together with that, remember that your feelings are more than very important, never disown that fact. It is a lot more beneficial to work with them, than what it is to try and ignore them.
