My formula for overcoming grief/ LOH #235

At various times and stages of our lives we have experienced situations that lead us to experience pain or sorrow, for example, a breakup, a betrayal, the death of a loved one, failed plans, in short.
Since childhood we experience sentimental pain or sorrow, for example, when a friend does not want to play with us, when someone bothers us at school or when our parents scold us.
From there begins the training to deal with this feeling and some others; talking about emotional intelligence, assertiveness and other concepts is something relatively recent, so our parents taught us what they had learned from theirs, or what they thought was right, I remember hearing from my mother or from my friends' parents phrases like:
- Calm down daughter, that everything passes
- Tell me what happened to you.
- Don't cry, it's not that bad
- Don't be an asshole, defend yourself.

So, as the years went by and I matured, through experiences and advice, I learned perhaps my own formula to recover from sorrows in the right way, because there are several, but they are not always the right ones.
I think the first thing is to accept sadness, which comes along with pain or grief. It is neither good nor healthy to deny it, nor to hide it, it is good to accept it and take your time with it, the bad thing would be to let it stay forever.
The best option and what I have learned to do is to deal with it. By this I mean letting my body express what I feel, for example: crying, to mention one way, everyone has their own ways of dealing with sadness.
Now, how long we can be sad, that depends on each human being, but obviously at some point you have to let go of sadness, as in any process we can help us by talking with people we trust, those friends who really love us, family or even with a specialist to help us identify what we feel and give us recommendations to deal with it correctly.

I remember that I lived very painful moments, because of a love relationship, and just in that same period by recommendation of my son's teachers I took him to the psychologist, logically after one or two sessions she interviewed me and I also ended up referred to that specialty, a situation that helped me a lot, because they prescribed me for example to walk, because the psychologist noticed that I had a lot of repressed anger and I needed to drain it and walking would help me a lot with it.
I also learned that we learn from every process and that this pain will not last forever, that I must take the good and learn from what happened in order not to repeat mistakes or fall into vicious circles.
In summary, to recover from a grief, the first thing is to accept it, live the process, cry or drain in some way what you feel, seek support and then focus on recovering, but above all move forward, even with tears in our eyes, we can not allow ourselves to stagnate for long, because the greatest asset that we as human beings have is time and therefore we must take care of it, because the time we lose will not return.

En diversos momentos y etapas de nuestra vida hemos vivido situaciones que nos llevan a experimentar dolor y o pena, por ejemplo, una ruptura sentimental, una traición, la muerte de un ser amado, planes fallidos, en fin.
Desde la niñez experimentamos la pena o el dolor sentimental, por ejemplo, cuando algún amigo no quiere jugar con nosotros, cuando alguien nos molesta en la escuela o cuando nuestros padres nos regañan.
Desde allí comienza la formación para lidiar con este sentimiento y algunos otros; el hablar de inteligencia emocional, asertividad y otros conceptos es algo relativamente reciente, así que nuestros padres nos enseñaron lo que ellos habían aprendido de los suyos, o lo que ellos creyeron correcto, recuerdo escuchar de mi madre o de los padres de mis amigos frases como:
- Tranquila hija, que todo pasa
- Cuéntame qué te ocurrió.
- No llores, que no es para tanto
- No seas pendejo, defiéndete.
Así, a medida que los años fueron pasando y fui madurando, por medio de experiencias y consejos, aprendí tal vez mi propia fórmula para recuperarme de las penas de forma correcta, porque hay varias, pero no siempre son las acertadas.
Creo que lo primero es aceptar la tristeza, que viene junto con el dolor o la pena. No es bueno ni saludable negarla, ni esconderla, es bueno aceptarla y tomarse su tiempo con ella, lo malo sería dejarla quedarse para siempre.
La mejor opción y lo que yo he aprendido a hacer es lidiar con ella. Con esto me refiero a dejar que mi cuerpo exprese lo que siento, por ejemplo: llorando, por mencionar una forma, cada quien tiene sus maneras de lidiar con la tristeza.
Ahora bien, ¿cuánto tiempo podemos estar tristes?, eso depende de cada ser humano, pero obviamente en algún momento hay que dejar ir a la tristeza, como en todo proceso podemos ayudarnos conversando con personas de confianza, esas amigas que nos aman de verdad, familiares o incluso con un especialista que nos ayude a identificar lo que sentimos y nos dé recomendaciones para lidiar de manera correcta con ello.
Recuerdo que viví momentos muy dolorosos, por una relación amorosa, y justo en ese mismo periodo por recomendación de las maestras de mi hijo lo lleve al psicólogo, lógicamente ella luego de una o dos sesiones se entrevistó conmigo y termine yo también remitida a esa especialidad, situación que me ayudó mucho, pues me recetaron por ejemplo caminar, pues la psicóloga noto que tenía mucha ira reprimida y necesitaba drenarla y caminar me ayudaría mucho con ello.
También aprendí que de todo proceso tenemos un aprendizaje y que ese dolor no durara para siempre, que debo tomar lo bueno y aprender de lo sucedido con el propósito de no repetir errores o de caer en círculos viciosos.
En resumen, para recuperarse de una pena, lo primero es aceptarla, vivir el proceso, llorar o drenar de alguna manera lo que se siente, buscar apoyo y luego enfocarse en recuperarse, pero sobre todo seguir adelante, así sea con lágrimas en los ojos, no podemos permitirnos estancarnos por mucho tiempo, ya que el mayor activo que como seres humanos tenemos es el tiempo y por ello debemos cuidarlo, pues el tiempo que perdamos no volverá.

Indeed, we all experience emotional pain at some point in our lives, and deal with it differently.
You are right. It is okay to be sad, to feel the pain, but we shouldn't let it consume us. It's nice that you were able to find ways that helped you get through your challenges in the past.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences.

Sadness is not to be denied or hidden, you have to live it and then let it go. Thanks for reading and commenting
