Death is a recurring theme across all human life. People we love die, people we need die, people we don’t know die, and eventually, we will die ourselves. For this reason it’s imperative to remember our mortality and learn to use it as a tool and a compass to orient ourselves. In history many philosophers and psychologists kept death in mind when conducting and releasing work, and they never wanted to forget how limited our time on earth is.
But tactical psychology is all about removing the bullshit from all the Philosophy, all of the psychology and giving you real world advice which you can implement in your life.
So ask yourself, how does one deal with the natural grief that loss provokes?
Speaking for myself, I had struggled to win a battle over depression and anger once my father died suddenly.
I’m here today with an amazing life surrounded by the most amazing people, because I won that battle.
But before I won, I felt nothing but hatred for the world and everyone in it, including me.
But from the ashes of my self destruction, I learned some of the most valuable life lessons, that a person can only learn when they’re faced with adversity.
Anything human is mentionable.
Anything mentionable is manageable.
When we talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting and most of all less scary.
Don’t let social media fucking fool you, everyone and I mean everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about.
Grief never ends. But it changes.
It’s a passage, not a place to stay
Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love.
Have you ever heard some ask: “What would you do if you found out tomorrow that you had cancer?”
The question is designed to make you consider how different life might be if you were suddenly given just a few months or weeks to live. There’s nothing like a terminal illness to wake people up.
But here’s the thing: you already have a terminal diagnosis. We all do! As the writer Edmund Wilson put it, “Death is one prophecy that never fails.” Every person is born with a death sentence. Each second that passes by is one you’ll never get back.
Once you realize this, it will have a profound impact on what you do, say, and think. Don’t let another day tick away in ignorance of the reality that you’re a dying person. We all are. Can today be the day we stop pretending otherwise?
In conclusion, Life is short and death is all around us. Grief is all around us but so is happiness and so is life. The train keeps rolling whether we decide to jump on again or not.
