Grief & Loss…
Take Heart column written by Yolanda Vela,
Bereavement Coordinator
Grief teaches us so many things, one of those being that we really have no control over things in this life. It is something that shakes up our entire world and a special person has been pulled out of our grasp, as much as we wanted to hold onto him/her, we couldn’t. There is nothing we can do with grief but experience it. It is often said that we need to have the courage to walk through our grief and not around it. Mourning, the outward expression of our grief is one definite way to get there. We will love our precious loved ones forever, but there is a change in the level of pain & relationship we experience in time. Grief will forever change us, but as difficult as it is to believe in the midst of the intensity of it, it will not destroy us. The despair we feel can change. We learn a tremendous amount of things about ourselves during one of the darkest journeys we will face. This journey should not be one of isolation but of gently allowing those that can handle the intensity of grief to walk with us and beside us. As a Bereavement Coordinator with Hospice of the Sandias walking on this journey with others and the tremendous losses I have faced personally, I believe there can be a tomorrow where the sun will shine again for you.
Join us as we gather for our support group meetings or for an individual session.
