Daily Email Affirmations by Johnson and Brown Funeral Home Grief Connections The Importance of Release - Day #144 Remember that now famous advertising slogan, “Got Milk?” Who doesn’t! What I say to you now is…“Got feelings?” Of course you do. And you simply can’t afford to suppress them. Here’s why: Unresolved grief or its suppression can lead to serious consequences. There has been a lot of discussion about this, and the consensus is that unresolved grief can cause various issues, including: •Stress - Unresolved grief can lead to a lot of stress. Reactions under stress include physical dysfunctions that can enhance ones susceptibility to disease and aggravate existing physiological problems. •Perception - While an individuals cognitive abilities are instrumental in conquering grief, the same abilities can be hampered by prolonged grief. This can lead to impulsive actions and hasty decisions that may prove to be harmful or lead to accidents. •Spiritual - A crisis of sorts occurs when there is an emphasis on suppressing grief rather than attaining a positive attitude for emotional wellness. Well-embedded assumptions and values are questioned. Questions like why me and what did I do to deserve this often lead to loss of faith and inner peace. Quotation of the Day “Grief and sadness knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger than common joys.” ~Alphonse de Lamartine
