When we feel a loss, we experience an array of emotions. Some of these emotions can be extremely debilitating and confusing. Let us face the honest truth: embarking on the grieving process is not easy, and it certainly is not fun. Still, many times we are not ready, consciously or subconsciously, to face these feelings. So we ignore them. We set them aside and continue living our lives, pretending things are okay. We are merely delaying our grief, and in the least expected moments, these feelings can surface in different ways, leaving us feeling even weaker and more confused, asking yourself: Why does this happen? Why do we delay our grief? Is it a natural reaction of human beings to avoid experiencing pain and despair?
