Get Your Dream Life

Thank you everyone for your comments and emails in response to my last blog post about my Nan and how I have have healed my own grief.

I have been truly amazed at how fast I have been able to do this.

I have shed so many tears for her over the last 10 years and every time she was ill, I would cry my heart out because I was convinced I would never see her again.

Now she has finally passed away, the grief was just as strong and painful.

Aside from endless hours of crying, which is hugely important,  there have been three thing that have helped me in this process:

1) My journal – where I written down all my feelings as they have come up, no matter what they were and how painful or challenging they were. I have covered every aspect I can possibly think of my relationship with my Nan and let everything pour onto the pages.

I have allowed myself to experience every single one of those emotions in my body, until they subsided of their own accord and I could move onto the next one.

2) The Book “How to Cope With Grief and Loss” by Dr Maurice Turmel PhD, who is  practising psychologist and therapist, with over 25 years experience of healing people deal with bereavement.

As I worked my way through the book, I was able to deal with all the different emotions that arose, from the sadness to the questions of Why?, to the sense of isolation and anger.

The chapters on dealing with the anger I was feeling, not only at my Nan for passing away and leaving me, but also the anger and self blame I felt against myself, for not being able to do more to help her or to prevent her death.

This is a really outstanding book and I would highly recommend it.

3) My audio relaxation recording- “Relaxation for the Bereaved – Heal the Grief” - I created this a few years ago to help a friend through the sad loss of a personal friend. I decided I would start using my own resources and I am very glad that I did.

It is a deep relaxation, that helped me release all the different emotions I was feeling from the places in my body where I had stored them.

My favourite part is definitely where I could reconnect with my Nan by the healing waters of a special place. Her message to me was so wonderful and I felt such a sense of love and peace.

I had the best nights sleep since the day she died.

These resources helped me through my grief over losing my Nan. I hope they can help you as well through the pain of your loss and your sadness.

With abundant blessings.
