This episode is inspired by a conversation with a friend after his father passed away suddenly, about being strong. Strength comes not from blocking off any feeling, but from facing it all.
Quotes to remember:
“Strength isn’t the ability to take anything and not feel it. It’s actually the ability to feel everything.”
“When you deny yourself one feeling, you deny yourself all feelings.”
Takeaways:
- Strength is often portrayed as the inability to feel
- We often fear feeling, which is why we see strength as not-feeling
- Feelings are always temporary and never last forever
- True strength is being able to bear it all
- Denying yourself your emotions is an incomplete attempt at grieving
- Grief doesn’t work on your timeline
What you’ll learn:
- What strength is and is not
- Why we see strength in the wrong light
- How to feel and continue to feel despite pain and despair
- The timeline of grief
THIS WEEK’S CHALLENGE: Take a look at one difficult, potentially unresolved situation in your life. Name it and write it down on paper or in your phone.
