Re: STRESS

Linda,

I am so sorry for your loss. I went to a counselor after dealing with a
horrible loss and stressful time in my life, he told me to allow myself
to grieve because you need that.  He said, give yourself the time to
grieve, but don't ruminate on it.  I was having a hard time moving on,
and he said just allow yourself 10-15 minutes or so to sit and reflect
on it because you need to address the painful feelings, and then try to
move on by keeping busy with other things.

The key for me was pushing myself outside of my comfort zone, and
making myself get out of the house to do things even when I didn't want
to.  I found that over time the grief and stress that came with it
became more manageable.  I found new things to do that I hadn't done
before, and looked into old hobbies I'd abandoned and new hobbies to
pick up.

I know everybody deals with grief and stress in their own ways, so what
worked for me may not work for you, but I thought I would share.

One other key thing that helped me survive my loss was allowing myself
to not always be strong.  I wanted to be strong and tough and was upset
with myself for not being able to hold it together better than I was,
but then I realized that it was okay and that I don't always have to be
strong because that's what makes me human.

I hope this helps, and again, I am so very sorry for your loss. The
grief may last for a long time, but try to find ways to create happy
moments that help diminish the impact that the grief will have on you.

Michelle
