When Sadness Feels Like It Will Never Go Away

Have you ever felt like you are carrying a sadness that nobody else can see?

You may smile, keep going, take care of everyone around you, and do what needs to be done, but inside there may still be a heaviness you cannot seem to shake.

Maybe you are grieving someone you lost. Maybe your heart was broken by a relationship that ended. Maybe you are carrying pain from a betrayal, a disappointment, or a future you thought you were going to have.

Your brain holds on to experiences that are important to you. When something matters deeply, your mind does not simply erase it, and move on.

Sadness is connected to love, connection, and the things that have had meaning in your life.

Sometimes sadness can stay with us because there are emotions that have not been fully processed.

When we understand where those feelings began, and what they are connected to, we can begin to soothe your heartache, and let go of the pain.
