Hello, everyone.
I welcome you to my blog. Dealing with losses can be really difficult; life does not really care whether we learn to deal with losses or not, as having to deal with losses is inevitable. As a human being breathing and alive, you have to deal with losses; you can lose money trying to make money; you can take risks that go sideways; and as far as life is concerned, you have to encounter losses, which makes learning how to deal with losses and handle losses very important.
Sometimes we lose things we cannot afford to lose; there are certain losses that can push one into depression and send them to a state of isolation, and losing things we cannot afford to lose is one of those things. There are losses we can get over in a day, and there are losses that we go years without getting over them. Even when we feel we are over it, whenever we are reminded or it crosses our mind, we become sad and start to wish we never had to deal with or encounter such a loss. There are losses that are minimal and recovery will take nothing, and there are losses that take a lot to recover, like therapy, isolation, or even cutting the rest of the world off.
How people handle losses varies from one individual to another, there are people who breakdown, panic and cry immediately they encounter losses, and there are people who holds themselves together and not let people, not even close relatives see how much the loss hit them and then there are those who open to close relatives and friends. I always tell people that when it comes to handling losses and wanting to recover, just do whatever works for you, don't try to follow another man's recovery step because it worked out well for them dies not mean it will workout for you.
How I handle losses and let go might differ from yours, but what really matters is that it works for me. When I encounter losses, the first thing to do is let myself grieve the loss. You don't have to be all tough all the time; sometimes you just let it out so that after grieving, you can move on and try not to grieve over it again. Losses can be devastating, and if not handled properly, they can push one off balance, which makes handling losses the proper way very important.
Every loss is a lesson; try to learn from it no matter how much it hurts. After every loss, you sit down and assess the loss, and from there you can point out the mistake made or loopholes, and while you keep trying, you try as much as you can to avoid making those mistakes again. When you learn from your mistakes, you don't get to suffer loss from the same cause twice.
