Overcoming grief

 Overcoming grief 


I’ve experienced two suicides, both brothers took their lives so.... I understand how suicide affects other people. Not long ago my dad passed away recently and grief is not easy to overcome. We all grieve differently and that is okay. When I received my fathers ashes I felt peace within which was good, it means I have more closure. When my cat passed away it was hard to find a new cat that had a loving side. A year later I found a cat that had that loving side. 



Here’s my advice to help you get through grief.

  1. Learn to accept the persons passing.

  2. Let out how you feel don’t deny your feelings. Use art or other therapy to get through it.

  3. Accept change it may feel weird without the person but you need to accept things that have changed.

  4. It was their time to go, the universe supports us even when we don’t know it yet.

  5. Use CBT known as cognitive behavioural therapy, being mindful of what thoughts you have.

  6. Remember the good times you have had with that person.

However you grieve is up to you just remember that person is not in pain or suffering. Stay strong my friend!

 Truths to inner peace  We all seek inner peace: the calm, clarity, and contentment that comes from falling into a harmonious balance with our internal self. But despite how essential inner peace is in finding true happiness, many of us don’t know where to start on this journey of personal growth and transformation. In today’s hectic and ever-changing world, inner peace may seem like a foreign concept, but cultivating it doesn't require huge life changes like moving to Bali. Rather, finding peace within ourselves is more of an individual journey to be embraced and explored. Overview The 8 universal truths for inner peace include: Our imagination often causes us more suffering than reality does; We are not free if we cannot control ourselves; Everyone must choose one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret; when we really don’t need to. No matter how anxious we may be, it won't change the course of events that are bound to happen; we got to change how  W...

Unlocking your full potential: A guide to self-improvement

Unlock your full potential: self improvement  Personal development is any activity that makes you a better person. Its goal is to give you more confidence and make you a happier, more satisfied individual. It concerns itself with improving awareness, honing talents, developing emotional intelligence and building your appreciation of yourself and all of your attributes. As with any significant undertaking, but especially one that can be as life-changing as personal development, it’s worth taking a deep look at why it is undertaken, or what your motivation should be before taking it on.  Motivation is the fuel that will keep you going as you discover and create the best version of yourself.

By reminding yourself of what your purpose or bottom line is, you are more likely to have the self-mo...
