OCTOBER MONTHLY BLOG:
THE IMPORTANCE OF FEELING AND EXPRESSING YOUR FEELINGS

As overwhelming as your emotions may seem after the loss of a child, they are expressions of where you are in the terrain of your grief journey. Rather than deny , inhibit, self-treat, or go around them( all of which can be tempting to do), We want to help you recognize and learn from them. Yes, It's actually becoming friendly with your feelings that will help you heal, or become whole again. It's helpful to think of your feelings as teachers in a way. The healing of grief starts with an awareness of our feelings. So, as much as you would want to run from your feelings of profound grief, we gently encourage you to be open to your teachers!

Misconception: You should try not to think of the child who died on those special Holidays , birthdays etc

As with all things in grief, trying not to think about something that your heart and soul are nudging you to think about is a bad idea. As we go through the summer months and prepare for the up coming Holidays, it's natural for your grief to well up inside of you and spill over- even long after the death of your child.
It may seem logical that if you can only avoid thinking about your child who died maybe you can cram your days so full and busy that you don't have a second to spare or to think, then you can avoid heartache. What I would ask you is this.. where does that heartache go if you don't let it out when it naturally arises? It doesn't disappear. It simply bides its time, patiently at first, then urgently, like a caged animal pacing behind bars.

Navigating your emotions through those special days( birthdays, holidays and day of death) can be very emotional. Everyone finds different ways to navigate through the emotions on those days. I (as a mom) have found a way that works for me. My sons birthday was July 30th, on that day I go to his page ,which was never taken down, and share my feelings and wish him a happy birthday. I will let him know how his 2 boys are doing and how they have grown up. This make me feel as if I am talking to him today.

There is no wrong way of getting through those days, it's whatever works for you. I encourage you to find your special way of navigating through those emotions on those tough days .

Inspiration in every turn:

88% of couples that lose a child, end up in divorce and these statistics were from a few years ago. The loss of a child affects your entire being. There is no right way to grieve, and there are no timelines. Your feelings of anger, guilt, and profound emptiness are valid emotions. Navigating those emotions through the loss of a child can be hard and take time and effort. We here at Healing Hope Ministries are here to help you navigate through those emotions and to understand the different effects that losing a child has on the husband and wife.
