Delayed Grief

Content: Mark Liebenow used this quote in an article in “ The Good Men Project :” “Ignoring grief is like a leak in our roof. We can take care of it now, or we can wait as it seeps through the ceiling, gets into the walls, and warps the floors.” This truly describes what it is like if we fail to address the grief that touches our lives. When we suppress it, it seeps into other parts of our wellbeing. It can inadvertently impact other relationships and can keep us from fully enjoying them. These suppressed feelings can also negatively impact a person’s health, resulting in headaches, ulcers and other issues. This is exactly what we have been saying at The Grief Recovery Institute for nearly 40 years. Unfortunately, this is something that many of us do on a regular basis. In past articles we have talked about Disenfranchised Grief and Masked Grief in reference to suppressed grieving experiences.
