Mental Wellness

My 2021 fresh start is my mental well being. I believe that that is a big concern around the whole world since this virus has entered main stage and what we have also learned it attacks our mental health as well as our physical health. The results mentally have become overwhelming and in my opinion have outweighed the virus itself. The worse being not able to be with our loved ones before their departure from earth.

My mental health seems to lie with others that are suffering from the grief of having to leave the loves of their life to suffer and die without a single person that they know, spent almost their entire life with in intimacy or as close family or friends. No funeral. No services. No wake. Hauled off to a storage in a refrigerated trailer to be transported to mass graves! Not even knowing where the love of your life is buried.

Carrying such a burden of that magnitude as well as guilt and unimaginable grief must take a toll on society, I know it does me. The thought of myself going through the same pain I cannot imagine. Could I deal with that? Would I make it through that without much mental scarring? Would I bury the hurt and cover it the same as a battered woman would a blackeye? Or wear it proudly for all to see just to receive sympathy or some kind words or as if I made it through.

Would I wonder earth looking for them? To give them a proper goodbye knowing that they can't be gone because, I never told them I loved them and I never actually experienced their passing. That is stressful and sad and I would like someone to reach out to me and at this point a complete stranger could probably ease some of the pain, offer some advice on how not to be so, hard on yourself and it was beyond our control and the one gone knew that you loved them and if you could of been there you would of.

How do we put ourselves in their shoes without our own hearts breaking? How do we make our brains comprehend what just happened to or what is happening to the people we love and care about more than anything in this world? Thinking about it is enough for a mental breakdown let alone to be part of.

For me I will stay positive, give the most loving advice to anyone who I might encounter and suggest seeing a specialist for grief and depression. I will pray for all. I will hope that I don't put my loved ones through such sadness and I don't ever half to go through it myself. I will do what is suggested by the medical professionals to try and keep from spreading the virus to family, friends, and the loved ones of others. Doing all I can to prevent the spread would give me a positive mind feeling. Knowing that there is a lesson we all need to learn and the people in charge are doing all in their power to control and find a cure is definitely a part of a mental health wellness plan.

Until this is under control and has ended I believe most of the world's population will suffer some sort of mental damage and will be a long road to recovery and maybe if some of us begin that process now we may be able to contribute to the mental well being of others in the future.

A fresh start is still far in the distance and what ever way we can achieve one and help others achieve the same is the only fresh start I see at this point in time. Love is always the best place to start a new positive beginning for ourselves and the ones most devastated by this world pandemic. Lets defeat this together and start fresh together.
