In 2019, I Lost My 31-year-old son
My Grief Journey... and Ultimate Recovery & Healing
In 2019 when our 31-year-old son Chris died unexpectedly, I did what I always do when I have experienced loss (health losses, job losses, etc) —
I worried about others, organized the chaos, and started working on a plan to “get through it.”
My “protective brain” took over and I added a layer of armor to my broken heart.
- I stuffed down my emotions
- Isolated myself from calls, texts and visits
- Wasn’t willing to accept help from others
- Disconnected my head and heart (I just couldn’t take it!)
- And went into autopilot, keeping myself too busy to really feel and grieve.
I kept this up for 18 months, until my life was brought to a screeching halt!
My body and brain were exhausted. I had a hard time functioning. I couldn’t sleep. I had terrible mood swings, was often confused, suffered memory loss and struggled to make decisions.
I had physically and emotionally worn myself out, and I couldn’t keep going.
Then the overwhelming pain really hit!
And my grief felt like I had run into a brick wall… at 100 miles per hour!
In addition to my previously diagnosed Hoshimoto’s disease, I was also diagnosed with MS and at the same time knew I needed help with my grief in order to properly deal with my failing health.
Once I slowed my life down enough to sit with my feelings, I realized I needed to begin my healing process.
I went to Facebook and Google searching for groups and sites that related to loss and grieving.
I tried churches and grief support groups—
But it seemed they were all negative and depressing, with no possibility of hope or joy in the future!
I bought every book recommended to me, but couldn’t read them because they were all saying the same things—
And it WASN’T WORKING FOR ME!
Since I had always looked at life and others from a never-ending positive perspective, I knew this wasn’t the route for me!
There had to be another way! There had to be a better solution! There had to be a process to grief recovery!
Then I found The Grief Recovery Method, and everything started to change!
I learned there are over 40 different types of losses and that recovering from grief:
- Doesn't mean you will never feel sad again or feel pain
- Doesn't mean there won't be triggers or that the tears have permanently dried
- But it DOES mean...
- You won't stop living
- You won't be defined by the loss and grief
- You are reorganizing your life and bringing the great memories you have of your loved one with you as you live your new life without their presence
This is what I was looking for! I worked through the Grief Recovery Method and felt JOY and PEACE in my life again.
I had finally found the healing I was searching for.
And SO CAN YOU!
