All in Healing
We have to be mindful of our game plan. Is my current approach to how I am dealing with things even working? We have to be honest with ourselves in our answers. I knew my escapism behavior was not conducive to living a caged free life, instead I was boxing myself in and now here I am. Using what little energy I have to pump out this message to you all.
I had to decide, again in that moment. Is this what we are about to do E? Are we about to beat ourself up or change the narrative. I decided to tell myself, you know what it’s okay to be concerned (not worried) about how the final appearance and outcome of your legs will be. But for now, we are still healing. Let’s heal and then cross that bridge when we get there.
When I sat on the couch of my therapist’s office and said those words out loud, I was overwhelmed by the flood of emotions that immediately followed those words. It was a liberating release. It was me stepping into the true realization that my son was dead and would never come back. It was the feeling of regaining control of how I was feeling and experiencing my loss and taking back that power from grief through the use of language.
A needs assessment. Are you familiar with the concept? It’s quite simple really. A needs assessment involves checking in with yourself and assessing what your needs are. You can conduct a needs assessment by asking yourself these 4 needs based questions listed below.
In my experience, silence has been this and more. It is a space where my thoughts meet my fear and my fears meet my happiness and my gratefulness rejoices and my emotions catch up with my logic and my heartbeat slows down. It is as much of a physical process as an emotional one. Thus, allowing slivers of peace to fill into the other spaces. There within those slivers of peace I gain my humbleness. A humbleness of recognition that a power greater than myself remains in control.
