Too big to leave behind
Disappointment and loss are a part of every life. Many times we can put such things behind us and get on with the rest of our lives. But not everything is amenable to this approach. Some things are too big or too deep to do this, and we will have to leave important parts of ourselves behind if we treat them in this way. These are the places where wisdom begins to grow in us. It begins with suffering that we do not avoid or rationalize or put behind us. It starts with the realization that our loss, whatever it is, has become a part of us and has altered our lives so profoundly that we cannot go back to the way it was before.Every great loss demands that we choose life again. We need to grieve in order to do this. The pain and loss we have not grieved over will always stand between us and our lives. When we don’t grieve, a part of us becomes caught in the past.
Grieving is not about forgetting. Grieving allows us to heal, to remember with love rather than pain. It is a sorting process. One by one you let go of the things that are gone and you mourn for them. One by one you take hold of the things that have become a part of who you are and build again and move on with your life.
^The above is just my two cents worth on the way home last night coupled with some research as well.Guys, its time to move on and stop dwelling in the past.^
