What are some things that you did to help you get over the loss of a loved one? – Vol. 529 – Dec. 26, 2019

Another great question that was asked by a person on Quora which I answered this way:

This is a great question!

I work with clients to overcome their grief. Here are some things that one can do to overcome the loss of a loved one.

First, depending on who the person is to you, you may never fully ‘get over’ the loss. This would be if one were to lose a child or a partner that one was deeply in love with at the time of the death. It is also quite difficult to get over the loss of someone who commits suicide, especially if you never saw it coming, which is the norm.

Here are my suggestions:

  1. I always have my clients do this in a hypnotic state which you can do by allowing yourself to just relax. Close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths and exhale slowly after each one. Then tighten the muscles and release them starting from your toes and feet all the way up to your neck. Next, go back to the last time you saw the person alive. Remember the situation. next, bring yourself to the time whey you heard they had passed away, and then bring yourself to the wake (if they had one) and heal all the great things others said about the person. Then to the funeral and hear, all the great things said about them there. Now, bring them up in front of you and let them know what they meant to you. Lastly, bring them into your heart, thanking them for all they have contributed to your life. Then know that they will always be inside you because they are.

2. Move on with your life, because that person would want you to. You can do things at times that remind you of that person. For example, I lost a close friend of mine last year and I went by a soft-serve ice cream place. This guy loved this sort of ice cream (and gelato as well). So, I topped off and had a chocolate-dipped ice cream cone in his memory – he bought many of these for both of us over the 30 plus years we were friends.

3. You can also wear something of theirs to keep their memory close to you. My dad died when I was 23 years old and was a great surprise to me. He was only 61 years old. I want the engagement diamond that he gave my mom because that was the gift of the greatest love he ever gave her. I asked her for it at the time of his death but told her to hold onto it or as long as she wanted. She remarried shortly after my dad’s death to a wonderful man. About 3 years later she called to ask me if I wanted this diamond and sent it up to me with a lot of other special pieces that he had given her over the years. I was overjoyed! I got a necklace designed for all the diamonds and wear it every single day. Yep, because as I wear it, I feel he is with me every single day.

4. It is also good to have photos of the people that you loved in your environment.

5. Lastly, I put myself into self-hypnosis and talk to my dad sometimes. And, though it may sound strange, he answers as well.

So, there you go – some things that one can do to deal with the loss of someone close to them. Over time the pain lessons, however, the great memories are wonderful to hold inside you forever.
