sharing your survivor story

For the past few weeks I have been attending cardiac rehab. I walked and they checked my blood pressure and watched my heart work. The most important part of the rehab for the client/patient was being with others who were recovering from a similar event. We talked, compared notes, laughed, and joked about life.

Cardiac rehab for a broken heart (a person experiencing a tremendous loss) would be pretty much the same minus the medical part. Grief rehab would be sharing one's story with those who have experienced grief. One would be laughing and crying about what life has dealt you. To know that other people have survived would be an encouraging factor.

So whether you are suffering from a medical cardiac event or an emotional one. The prescription is the same. Be around people who are recovering, listen to their story, and share yours. peace
