Forgotten Grief

We think we are fine. We plaster a forced smile on our faces and act like it's all ok. Pushing whatever is going on in our lives to the very back corner of our brains where we think "it" can be concealed best. It's perceived as normal to act like everything is fine and dandy and to appear to be over things with little to no help from a professional or by even taking the time out for yourself to deal with "it". But dealing with "it" is NEEDED. If you don't deal with whatever is going on in the very back corner of that super complex brain of yours, "it" will get you. "it" only comes out at the worst possible times if you don't deal to "it" first. Right when you are meant to be enjoying yourself you suddenly remember that "it" is still there and has doubled in size because you haven't taken time out to properly grieve. Grief is "it". "it" isn't evil, "it" is a necessary part of the process and your wellbeing. "it" is part of everybody's life at some stage and can hit you out of nowhere. Just when you think you have finished grieving for a loss "it" is there ready to tell you that you haven't completed the process yet. Sometimes "it" can hide for years and when you stop being "busy" all the time and allow yourself time for you "it" can come out and tell you that the time has come for you to properly deal with your grief allowing you to take a step forward in life. This is not to say that "it" wont come back again, of course no one can guarantee that. But by actually feeling your emotions and saying to yourself that it's alright to really feel "it" from time to time instead of concealing the grief in the back corner of your head, you can get through "it".
