59: The importance of resting in grief
Grieving over someone’s death is greatly draining not only emotionally, but as well as physically.
In this episode,we are going to know the importance of how resting from grief helps you in healing.
You need to set a time for grieving and time for mending.
Grieving is just like working out.You don’t workout round the clock. You need to rest to recuperate from the stress caused by exercising. Just like grieving, you need to allow yourself to take a break.It will give you much strength to face if another big wave of emotion comes.
Here are the points in this episode:
- You can set time aside.
- Set a timer every day.
- Tell your grief you are not ignoring it, but you will come back to it later.
- Think of it like a workout, you need to rest.
- Boxing up your thoughts and emotions.
