Have you ever Googled “how long does grief take“? I know I did, back when I was struggling with my own grief over the loss of my amazing horse, Teddy. You see, Teddy taught me MORE about myself and life than I could ever put into words. I LOVED that horse!
A long time ago, I had to make the difficult decision to put him down because he had cancer in his eye and I didn’t want him to suffer any longer…it broke my heart.
Processing Emotions Explained
Back then I didn’t have the tools I have now to process my emotions. The answers I found from “experts” were far from comforting.
“One to two years,” they said. “Or even longer.”
The thought of that was Soul-crushing! To think that I would have to carry this pain for a long time felt like a life sentence.
I remember thinking, “Is this really what it takes? I spent countless nights pondering, why does healing have to take so long? Isn’t there a quicker, more effective way to feel like myself again?
Deep down, a voice whispered, ‘There’s another way.’
A path to healing shouldn’t take a lifetime.
And you know what? My intuition was right.
