Grief comes in many shapes and sizes, and like homeopathy, one size does not fit all. Most of us automatically assume that it occurs following the death of a loved one, be they human or animal. In fact sometimes, it can shock us when we grieve a loving pet in a greater way than we might a beloved member of our extended family. But the pet gives us unconditional love, seldom gets cross with us or tells us off and is generally much happier to see us everytime we walk through the door than some of our beloved family members who we don't see every single day.
Grief can also appear when children leave home, be it a temporary move to college or University, or the more permanent move to their own adult home. It can occur over the loss of a job, the loss of our health or the loss of our routine, as so many of us experienced during Lockdown.For some, it may be an experience of feeling down, tearful and a sense of emptiness. There can be either a lack of apppetite or the opposite, with comfort eating. Equally, there can be an inability to sleep, or sleeping more than usual as an escape/coping mechanism. Anger and frustration are common emotions, alongside the sadness...and then comes the unwanted feelings of guilt around unexpected moments of joy or happiness.
Grief is the price we pay for having loved so deeply, and it never truly disappears...we simply learn to live with that hole in our life, that gradually with time, lessons the hurt. Homeopathy can support you through your feelings and experience of grief with many wonderful remedies, personally matched to your experience. Please reach out and book a discovery call to see how homeopathy could help you.
