Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - Appreciating a Pushy Friend

Have you ever grieved a loss? It could be the loss of a pet, a partner, a job – whatever, it was a painful loss to you. Sleep would help you forget for a few blissful hours, and when you awoke, that big knot in your stomach came right back, right? Yep – been there.

Most of your friends were probably very kind for a while, and if you’re like most of us, you had that one friend who was ready for you to move on before you were ready.

How did that make you feel?

Some people might feel their friend was insensitive, disregarding the depth of the pain and the bigness of the loss. It would be normal to feel that way, and yet that sort of blaming and shaming, whether it’s done out loud or in the privacy of your head, is counter productive. It only serves to keep you stuck in the pain, feeling like you’ve been victimized again.

Instead, thank the friend – either out loud or in the privacy of your head – for reminding you that life goes on when you’re ready. Who knows – your friend might even help nudge you back into normal life sooner, and that's a good thing, right?
