In this new session on the death of a partner produced for hypnosisdownloads.com I have focused on getting grieving partners to ‘take time out from grieving’ so that they can take care of themselves and others around them and so ‘grieve better’ because of the rest they’ve had.
This may sound a strange idea. I draw the rather unlikely parallel of an athlete undergoing the process of training for an athletic event. An athlete needs to train, of course, but very importantly they need quality rest away from training to make their training better. Grieving is a process which can be done well – and actually done better when the bereaved person has time out to rest and relax regularly.
Of course, losing a partner is a truly terrible experience and the grieving process itself can feel uncontrolled and frightening. In many cultures grieving is a highly organized and ritualized process. This makes it easier for the bereaved partner to cope. ‘Organized grieving’ makes it easier, ‘puts a fence around the grief’ and lends shape to the experience.
This session was made to be very reassuring, gentle and encouraging, and I hope it helps many bereaved partners all around the world.
All best wishes
Mark
