These are serious losses that affect you deeply on an emotional level and you grieve the loss just as if someone close to you has died. Grieving means fully feeling and releasing painful emotions that come up when we reflect on our loss.

One common mistake is to move on too quickly, not giving ourselves enough time to grieve. Another mistake is not giving ourselves permission to experience all our feelings.

To move through grief to reach healing, you will experience certain emotions that help you break the attachment to your loved one. It is important that you allow yourself to experience these emotions as they come up.
