November 1.
This is a special day of the year, when we think of loved ones who are no longer with us. We visit cemeteries, clean tombstones, light candles. We reminisce, sometimes we smile and sometimes we cry.
Loss is something that affects each of us. Every happiness, every love and every relationship is inseparable from loss. We can’t avoid it – so let’s not run away from it. Let’s give ourselves a chance to experience it in a conscious way, which will ultimately strengthen us and allow us to know ourselves better.
We are used to dividing feelings into good and bad, and those feelings we interpret negatively – such as sadness, anger, grief – are not bad in themselves. We need all these feelings, we have the right to feel them, and we should experience them and let them resound – in a form that does not hurt others. It is the form of expression of feelings that we choose that has a direct impact on whether the effects of these feelings will be negative and “bad”.
Let’s grieve if we need to – today in particular.
If you need – cry or laugh. No two people are the same, and there are no identical ways of dealing with the loss of loved ones – there are no worse or better.
