Is Your Mental State Just Surviving?
Dec 21, 2021
“Take your time healing, as long as you want. Nobody else knows what you’ve been through. How could they know how long it will take to heal you?”
– Abertoli
December could be painful for many people who recently lost a loved one or even if some time has passed.
Everyone grieves in their timing. Don’t feel like you should be farther ahead and striving if you are still struggling and going through the motions.
Ideas offering a bit of encouragement:
- Schedule plans well ahead of time
- Suggest a family discussion
- Contemplate helping others if you think it could help you, not because someone else thinks it sounds good
- Take solace in your remembrances
- Take one moment at a time
Nobody but you can completely comprehend.
How will you be compassionate with yourself and others who might be clueless?
