Acceptance in grief doesn’t mean you are ok or in agreement with the loss of your loved one, job, or whatever happened to you. For me, it meant to finally acknowledge the life I envisioned with the one I loved was over. However, there was still life for me to live and I had to figure out how to enjoy it to the fullest. Acceptance doesn’t mean that you forget about the one you love, which I thought I had to do to move forward. I discovered that you could remember, cherish the memories, and move forward. Acceptance is coming to grips with all the emotions of loss, processing the emotions but not allowing the emotions to keep you hostage. Acceptance is your freedom to live life abundantly.
