Healing

The saying this too shall pass is good to remember no matter what circumstance you in. It is also important to know as it applies to healing. I can recall several years ago I fell into a pattern of when things got difficult I would quit. By difficult I mean when I had uncovered a certain amount pain from my past and the grieving stage started I would pull myself out of the trenches and claim victory, I was healed. It is hard to grieve a loss and most times we associate grief with a death. In some ways it is the only time we allow ourselves to feel grief; like finally there is a reason to cry and feel sad without overanalyzing why.

I have learned on my own healing journey that death comes in many forms. I have grieved the loss of my childhood innocence, several relationships that broke my heart, the many people through out my life were who were only doing the best they could and the pain that caused. The point being healing is a journey. You heal in parts. it will pass. But it most definitely is not gone until you heal the grief, and that too shall pass because the only way out is through.
