Summary: Moving on from a loved one's passing can be a struggle. What are some empowering rituals to free you from your painful past?Suicide is a huge, underrated problem that women, men and teenagers face. According to the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the most recent year to collect data on suicide was in 2010. That year alone, 38,364 suicide deaths were reported. After her life was derailed when her husband committed suicide, Dianna Bonny began a passionate mission to help people recover and heal when left behind by such a tragic choice. Dianna's blog offers reflections and resources for parent suicide support, advice on how to heal after trauma and self-care solutions such as yoga, meditation, honest conversations and compassionate self-inquiry. However, you may lose loved ones in other ways beside suicide. Grieving after a loved one has passed can take a toll on your mental and physical well being. What are some empowering rituals to help you move on from your painful past? In Dianna's case, she was in mourning of her husband, and the process of finding peace was an ongoing battle. The first ritual Dianna did was burn her wedding dress. This may seem odd and even more painful that the loss of your spouse. However, to Dianna, it was a constant reminder of her past that brought up painful memories of her husband's passing. Another important ritual is to openly talk about how you're feeling. You may be in shock, angry and upset... but those emotions will not just disappear if you don't talk about it. What are some other rituals to help move on from the loss of a loved one? Dianna joins Dr. Mike to discuss the ways she used empowered rituals to help her move on from her past, as well as why it's so important for you to find peace within your heart and mind.
