After losing a loved one, giving thanks is something we almost never think about, but gratitude is a fantastic tool for healing as long as it is used correctly. As you start feeling grateful for what you still have in life, you start to realize what a positive impact the loved one had on your live rather than how awful you feel now that they are gone. For example, the natural thought after losing a partner would be ‘how am I supposed to continue on my own’. Instead, we suggest thinking about all the positive things in your life like children, friends, work, etc. Above all else, this will start to fill the emptiness you feel, and you start to realize that there is a life beyond losing your partner or your special loved one. 

Of course, we aren't saying that you should completely forget the past and start a new life where the memory of the loved is gone. In truth, this would probably have the opposite impact, and you won’t feel any healthier. However, there is nothing wrong with moving past the grief, letting go of the life you used to have, and focusing on how things will be now that they are gone. At all times, you will still have your memories of your time with this person, and this is how you will keep them alive with other family members and friends.
