1) To Be Grateful
Be grateful NOW for the people who love and care about you. Every moment and every memory shared with those you love is so very precious.Don't wait around for a wakeup call to tell you that you should have been more grateful for them in your life.I am so grateful that i cherished the memories of those who died while they were still alive
Be grateful for every day that you get to spend with people you love.Life is short,but very precious
2) Let Nothing Go Unsaid
Always find it in your heart to forgive those you love.Resolve any issues you have with them ,and let them know EVERY DAY how much you love them. You never know when you may lose the opportunity to tell them or make amends.One of the biggest regrets of those who lose somebody to death is that they never said what they needed to say when they still had the chance.You can never get that chance back again
The bitterest of tears shed over graves are the words left unsaid and deeds left undone
3) It's Okay To Fall Apart
Sorrow & grief are a natural response to loss. You’re allowed to break down. You're allowed to cry & fall apart. Let yourself be vulnerable.Accept your feelings and embrace the sorrow as it comes over you.It helps with the healing process in the long-term.Pain is only proportional to the amount a person loves, so the pain that grief brings is equal to how much you love someone
Don't forget that you're human. Remind yourself it's okay not to be okay .It's okay to break down ,it's okay to cry
4) Everyone Grieves Differently
Everyone’s experience of grief is unique.It's our very own personal journey .People's actions and reactions to grief differ from person to person.Each of us defines our own healing process.Everyone finds their own way of dealing with their loss and pain.There's no right or wrong way to grieve.Which ever way you choose to grieve ,it's right for you
No person has the right to condemn you on how you repair your own heart, or how long you choose to grieve ,because no one knows how much you're hurting .Recovering takes time ,and everyone heals at his /her own pace
5) Pain Eases
The pain you feel after a loved one dies never really goes away ,only it's intensity changes. Gradually,over time,the physical symptoms of grief lessen and the heart-wrenching emotional pain softens.You will always remember those who've died ,and at times painful memories will come flooding back.They'll be times when you break down,but the pain will never be as severe as it was during the initial stages of the grieving process.
Time doesn't heal the pain,it teaches you how to live with the pain
6) It's Okay To Move On
Survivors guilt can cause a grieving person to feel guilty about moving on with their life, as if moving on would mean forgetting and betraying their dead loved one. However, moving on doesn't mean that you're done with grieving or that you should forget about your loved one. Moving on is about moving forward ,not being done or over it.Moving on is about learning to accept your great loss ,and adjusting to life without your loved one.Your life is changed forever ,and life as you knew it will never be the same again.The loss becomes part of who you are.But it is important that your life continues and moves forward .Remember, your loved one would never want you to live the rest of your life grieving for them.
It takes strength to make your own way through grief,to grab hold of life and let it pull you forward
7) Life Goes On
When someone you love dies ,it seems as though the whole world comes to a complete standstill.But life goes on with or without you.It's okay to miss and long for those who've died,but the best way to honor someone's memory is to choose to live your life to the fullest, remembering and celebrating your loved ones life
Things end,people change but life still goes on
