Grief and loss: “Show me the meaning of being lonely”
Grief and loss: When that significant one is gone
“Show me the meaning of being lonely” is a song by Backstreets Boys that tells us how we could feel when that significant one is completely gone and we have to go through.Losing somebody special could make us think that it isn’t anything else for us and that the world ended without any warning. In this case, what should we do to keep on going? Saying that we need to move on or get over it, it’s easier said than done. What if a friend is going through something like this, what can we say or do to help them out? It’s a complicated situation and we need to be careful.
Could you imagine losing your wife or your husband, or maybe your mom or your dad, or even your son and your daughter? How could you possibly feel about it? Probably you would want to be with them no matter how. The depression because of a loss can lead many people to consider suicide. They lose all their desires to live. They feel like nothing makes sense anymore and all they want is to stop feeling because it hurts way too much. But can it be a way to stop the pain without leaving this world?
Grieving process:
Loneliness is their best friend, but is it the best option to allow loneliness to take possession of your heart?
You need to be surrounded by the people that are willing to truly help you to overcome those painful feelings and that horrible loss.
Cultivate good friendships in your life. It’s important to have people you can trust and lean on. Remember that even if it feels like today it’s the end of the world, it will get better in time. Take one step at a time and do everything you need to do to heal. Keep in mind that is ALWAYS better if WE AREN’T ALONE. Friends and family will help you feel better and will ease the loneliness. Weather is true that the pain will never disappear, it’s also true that as time goes by we learn to deal with the loss, the sadness, and the loneliness.
