When will my grief be over? When will I recover from all this sadness?

1/11/2016

Last week a former Canadian politician died in an airplane accident with three other people. My heart goes out for their families. I cannot imagine what they are going through.

​This incident flooded me with memories and deep grief about my nephew’s death. He died eight years ago in a Cessna accident as well. 

Often I am asked: When will my grief be over? When will I recover from all this sadness?

There is no right answer to it. Sadness and grief can flood our feelings all of a sudden when there is a trigger, like the one with the airplane crash. 

Eight years ago, the feelings were overwhelming and the crying didn’t want to stop. 

This week it was a reminder how much I miss and love him and how much I still grief his death. But there is a difference between then and today. The feelings of sorrow are more gentle and not overwhelming anymore. 

When will my grief be over? When will I recover from all this sadness?

Perhaps the most honest answer is: It will never be over. 

Your feelings of overwhelming sadness will change towards a gentler form. You will change. You will be a new you having witnessed and felt the death of a loved one. 

This loss will make you more empathetic, more loving, and more carrying if you chose to go that path. 

It might be difficult right now but I trust in your resilience and inner healing power. 

Take good care,
Jacqueline
