They’re suffering from grief over the loss of a loved one who
The loss could be through death, divorce, or a seemingly irreparable rift between siblings, friends, or parents and children. It could
stem from the loss of a beloved pet as well as a beloved human.
Whatever the source of the loss, it left a gaping hole, and that hole has been filled with grief, loneliness, and despair.
Some sufferers retreat to live in the past, longing for what
was and what could have been had the loss not occurred. Cheerful greetings of
Happy Thanksgiving or Merry Christmas fall on deaf ears, or elicit a silent
response of “There’s nothing to be thankful for,” or “Being merry is not an
option when your life is over.”
They’re lonely, even if surrounded by friends,
because those friends cannot take the place of the one who is missing.
People in this state need the Flower Essence Honeysuckle. This
flower remedy helps sufferers look back at the past and preserve what was
beautiful, without grieving for its loss. It also helps bring them back into
the present where they can begin once more to appreciate what they still do
have in their lives.
Water Violet is another flower remedy that can help people stop
wallowing in their grief, come out of the shell, and begin to interact with
others again.
Many who suffer are hit with a “double whammy.” They are
experiencing their own sorrow and are also concerned for the feelings of others
who share the loss. Their excessive care can actually be harmful and crippling
for those whose suffering they would hope to alleviate.
Red Chestnut will help
put their energies in balance, so they can be supportive in the shared grief,
but not overpowering.
