I found it strange how on the one hand we need to bring up our loss and grieve it and on the other we need to ignore it through meditation.

My T said have a toolbox.

Someday's we are at rock bottom, offer yourself love, soothe your inner child and grieve when ready.

Feeling depressed but able to think things through, identify your feelings, grieve them and definitely continue to love and adore yourself. Take loving care of your inner child. Know you are worthwhile. Some may find meditation can help but not all.

As you recover to feeling low, maybe a bit up and down, add meditation and keep identifying your feelings, grieve them and definitely continue to love and adore yourself. Take loving care of your inner child. Know you are worthwhile always.

Good days do come and you can thrive. Meditation can be a part of this healthy life. The caution comes in triggers for your depression. Learn what they are and try to avoid them. Some cannot be avoided and having a plan for these moments is all we can do. My plan is to go back to the above.

Best wishes to you
Big Hug
And loads of love
