Losing someone and experiencing a heart-wrenching loss can be a part of living. If you are feeling this way, know that it is natural, especially soon after a tragic loss. If, however, the pain and grief continue for extended periods of time without improving, your grief may have become complicated. Therapy can help you get back on track again.

Time Helps but…

Time cannot heal all wounds. While grieving is part of the human experience, it is also natural to heal afterwards. If your pain is continuous and you feel that it is preventing you from moving forward it may be time to acknowledge that you need more than time to heal. You can move on without losing your memories and connection to your loved one. This can be difficult to do alone.

Take Care of Yourself Again

Grieving for far too long can consume your energy, so that you may lose the interest to do your normal daily routines. You’ll likely end up not eating properly or getting enough sleep. All these may cause your physical health to deteriorate along with your emotional health. It is important to take care of yourself so that you can feel better physically and mentally.

To find the motivation to move on from your grief and to take care of yourself consider seeking help from a professional counselor. If you have an existing medical condition, your overstaying intense grief can adversely affect your disposition and health. Grief doesn’t have to keep you stuck.

Moving Forward with Counseling

When your grief seems to carry on and on, causing your health to deteriorate or your life to stand still, it is important to not let it hover longer than it has. When intense emotions prevent you from living your day to day life or when you are feeling stuck, it is important to take action.

It is important to grieve your loss, but you don’t have to let the pain stay with you forever. You can move forward. Call Carolina Counseling Services – Fayetteville, NC. Independently contracted therapists that can help you to process your grief. Call today to get started.
