When we lose something or someone, we tend to lose more than we need to. All sorts of secondary emotions start to flourish that are not always healthy. Grief is not an essential part of life. Grief might be a ritual or a mark of respect but grief is not a necessary part of letting something or someone go. Why? Because there’s nothing missing. Nothing to let go of. See if you can follow this rather simple video. If you need help and this doesn’t help you navigate the path through grief, please call lifeline or an online counselling service as you may have a chemical imbalance that needs some more focussed care and support than a video can provide.
