Do you believe in life after loss? (Part 3)

Dear Reader,

This post is a continuation from the previous post “Do you believe in life after loss? (Parts 2 and 1) respectively. This is where I decided to shorten the post and let it sit in my head for a few days to begin work on the next phase of processing things, loss if you will.

What I wasn’t exactly understanding about what was going on with me was the amount of emotion, the build up that I was carrying. I mentioned in the precious post about writing a letter, you know one of those get it out of you and burn, shred, or destroy letters as you send it off to the universe as a way of making an amends. Well for me personally I have never been afraid of showing emotion, but I think this next paragraph will help one understand the level of emotion that had yet to be “let loose.” To continue the story:

Do you believe in life after loss?

This post dear reader is one of a more personal post. After all this little site is about sharing experiences. As people we don’t realize things until the storms of life have surrounded someone and as the old saying goes, “can’t see past the end of your nose.” I would like to make a disclaimer before proceeding in that 1. I am NOT a doctor, just sharing experiences in life. 2. My hope in sharing this will maybe help someone out there who may read it and find solace with whatever is going on with whoever is reading this and reach out to others to help themselves.

If life seems dark and closed in, just think and look to the light
