If you have never been through it, you better believe it’s going to happen someday. What’s that, you ask? Grief, Grieving, and feelings of great sadness at the hands of some traumatic event(s). It’s common that the average individual, after dealing with traumatic events, needs time to process and download the information that has been transposed. However, due to the necessity of being on the go, having to work, provide, or afraid of dealing with this alteration in life, we don’t go through the necessary process of grieving.

There’s many studies about how much time is needed for grieving, but that’s not completely accurate. Every human being is different from the next and every traumatic event doesn’t carry the same weight as another event may. What can be said though? People have to go through it. Search for the understanding for self, and if that’s too hard to do on your own, then reach out for help from therapists of your choice.

Blocking out the grief process is a slippery slope. It seems to always catch up with you someway or somehow. You want to deal with it head on and understand this new life as you know it, because you don’t want everything to come crashing down on you at once or in a situation that may not be welcoming. It’s time to go through that ISH!
