There are many roads to heartache: losing someone you love or care about, companion pet loss, divorce, an empty nest, retirement, a drastic change in your health, regrets over missed opportunities and other wounds that have rocked your world. If you are in emotional pain, you may be wishing for a magic spell to whisk it away from you--but a more lasting solution is to use your grief as a springboard into a new, more joyful chapter of your life.
Here are a few of the lessons you will hear in this skill:
-- "Deep grief sometimes is almost like a specific location, a coordinate on a map of time. When you are standing in that forest of sorrow, you cannot imagine that you could ever find your way to a better place. But if someone can assure you that they themselves have stood in that same place, and now have moved on, sometimes this will bring hope.” Elizabeth Gilbert
-- "It is a universal principle that you get more of what you think about, talk about, and feel strongly about.” Jack Canfield
-- "The Dalai Lama said, 'One must learn to take a long view.' In other words, we must learn to hold our present difficulty or dark night, in the context of a much bigger story. This is just a chapter or a page in your life. It's not your whole life unless you make it that way. Unless you allow it to consume your love for life and the dreams that are calling through you to be expressed through you. This is a dark chapter, but it's not your whole book." from Heal Broken Dreams and Heartache (online video course).
-- "Grieving is a journey that teaches us how to love in a new way now that our loved one is no longer with us. Consciously remembering those who have died is the key that opens the hearts, that allows us to love them in new ways." Tom Attig
-- "Realize that your stress is under your own control. No one outside of you can think your thoughts for you, feel your feelings for you, or take your actions for you. When we learn how to control our thoughts, it doesn’t mean we become a hall monitor in our mind, looking for transgressions. Instead, focus on being aware of the general nature of your thoughts each day." from "Your Grief Relief: Heal the Void" (book)
