Whether it’s sharing happiness or misery, at some point in our lives, we need someone who’ll be there for us. That person who can basically just listen, particularly when we are at our lowest.

Losing someone you love can leave you with an unfathomable feeling of deep sadness, guilt, disappointment, and helplessness. It’s like being a once awesome runner but suddenly getting crippled after encountering a huge boulder.

You lose your focus. You lose your strength. Then eventually lose your will to move forward.

What’s making it more difficult is that you find it hard to open up about the emotions that are building up inside. You feel sharing these thoughts and feelings will only make your family feel worse. Or at least you must show how strong you are. This way, they’ll get that strength to move on as well.

These moments, though they are hurtful, are best shared with someone. I remember the saying from a Swedish proverb, “Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half sorrow”.

Whether it’s sharing happiness or misery, at some point in our lives, we need someone who’ll be there for us. That person who can basically just listen, particularly when we are at our lowest.

The great thing is that now, grief coaching is becoming more popular, and grief coaches can be easily accessed. A grief coach can help you get your life back on track as you cope with the loss of a parent, child, pet, or anyone close to you.
