Methodist Moments

By Rev. Karen Blank Ewell
Life After Loss
Any loss is upsetting. It isn't
just a death that upsets your
ense of balance. It is impor-
tant to rememb that divorce,
moving, financial loss, children
leaving home, and illness are
among many other experiences
that can have devistating
effects on you. It is also impor-
tant to remember that these
kinds of experiences happen to
everyone. They knock you off
balance. And while life seems
to be going on, the truth is that
you must reclaim your balance
before your life can go on fully.
That recovery takes time and
attention and work. If you do
not take the time to pay atten-
tion to your grief and do the
work, life after a major loss
will never again be as full as it
could be.
There are four steps to walk-
ing the path back to wholeness.
There are the four steps to
grief recovery. You can expect
to take these steps over a span
of time that varies from a few
months, for a minor loss, to a
three years or more for a major
loss in your life. Some of these
steps will seems automatic, out
of your control. Others will
require enormous will power
and intentionality on your
part. All of these steps are nec-
essary.
The steps are: shock and
numbness, denial and with-
drawal, acknowledgment and
pain, and adapting and renew-
al.
As you understand these
steps, you will be able to deal
with your grief more effectively
and actually grow through the
grief experience. Understand-
ing these steps will also help
family and friends understand
what is happening to you and
how they can best support you.
This week I will cover shock
and numbness. In the weeks
to come we will cover the otker
steps of grieving.
In the first seven to 10 days
aRer a major loss, you will
probably feel stunned,
shocked, and overwhelmed.
You may feel frozen in time, or
hysterical. In any case you will
have a difficult time later
remembering much of what
took place.
If you are going through this
now, may I suggest that you
intentionally keep a journal,
have others record words of
comforts for you, some people
take pictures, others Save
mementos of the event.
Find some way that fits you,
to help you hold on to these
events. They will be more of a
comfort and reality check later
than they are now. Secondly, do
not make any sudden decisions
or moves. Now is not the time
to give away clothing, move,
quit a job, or get remarried.
Now is the time to just let your
body absorb the impact of the
loss.
Your reaction of shock and
numbness is a natural reac-
tion, it is a result of a reflex
action that shuts down your
entire emotional system.
Whatever your initial outward
reaction, you will have a cer-
tain numbness inside. I like to
think of this as God's way of
providing a
against the full impact I
