Acceptance: The Key to Healing on Your Journey Through Grief

Life presents us with many challenges. Over time we may realise that we aren't living the life we would really like to live and at times we may feel we could change the whole thing in its entirety. It's at this point that we may question 'How can I change my life?'. When a major event such as the loss of a child happens, then the desire to be able to go back in time and change the course of events is huge. And at the same time we know that this isn't possible. Events have happened and there is only now - time cannot run backwards. With the death of a child a whole range of emotions may be experienced including anger, frustration, sadness, loss, regret. To progress in our healing, we have to work through these emotions. We have to give them the space that they need and we may well feel the need to be heard at this time of deep pain.
