HELLO HIVE
In those moments, we reveal our true selves—sometimes without even realizing it.
We feel that sense of insecurity during incidents of loss that we begin to doubt our own strength and beliefs, which is completely natural for us to feel that way.
"These moments test our strength. Some who believe they are strong struggle unexpectedly, while others find a way to cope."
Loss is inevitable, but what truly matters is how we respond to what remains. Our reaction shapes our healing process.
How do I typically react in those moments?
Normally, I would shut down completely at first, but the way it happens is something I can't really explain. It's just like I wouldn't just feel like disappearing completely to a place where I can be alone myself.
A typical example was when I lost my Mom on 1st February 2017 it took me a while to come out of my shell and I would spend most of my time indoors just wondering if it was a dream, I only realized late that dealing with things this way wasn't the right way because it eventually leads to depression at some point with some much unproductive thoughts flowing through the mind.
Emotional processing
I don't allow myself to be too cut up emotionally cause I would literally burst into tears once I can't handle it anymore, so the best thing that I do is to look for distractions, one of which is going for a walk that's healthy and productive at times.
Mindset shift
It takes me a while to reflect on it especially if the loss could been prevented like the death of my mom who needed an ambulance to get there on time with medics to get her out of the danger zone or the moment my dad decided to take a loan that completely destroyed the balance of our lives from then on, a loan that wasn't productive in the end.
Moving forward
Healing is the most difficult aspect for me and I take longer time to heal than most average persons would, It relies more on lifestyle change and environmental change, take for instance when I lose something like a business I instinctively change to another before I can find my peace, that doesn't mean that the new place is better than the formal no it is not what I want at that moment in time is to leave that environment completely without looking back.
This way of handling this has cost me a lot in life because I find myself moving from one thing to the other without completion.
Looking back
Loss has been an important drive to success for me. It has helped me understand my strengths and limitations, with better views of approaching life, it's a reality check for me.
