Anger While Grieving- How It Can Be Helpful For Healing
Allow yourself to feel your anger even though it may seem endless and be very painful.
The more you allow yourself to feel anger, the more that it will begin to dissipate-- and then it will facilitate healing.
There will be other emotions that you will feel as well. However, anger is the emotion we are most used to managing.
You may feel anger toward your friends, doctors, your family, yourself, and to God.
Underneath anger is extreme pain. This is a natural response to grief as well as feeling abandoned.
Anger can actually be a strength and an anchor, giving temporary structure to the nothingness of loss.
At first grief feels like being lost at sea -such as having no connection to anything.
Then you get angry and all of a sudden, you have a structure…….. your anger.
This anger can be a bridge over the open sea….and be something to hold on to.
Your anger is an indication of the intensity of your love.
Allow yourself to feel anger. Just try not to take it out on others inappropriately.
