How did you overcome the most tragic moment in your life?

Question

No jokes, please.

Answer 1

If you want to cry, just cry. I did sports then. I am now a trainer.

Answer 2

i kept going. i went through a terrible 5 years, so terrible i can't go into it here without causing upset, and you know what? I got a fresh start. i cut off my hair (to me that symbolizes change... others might find something else, like throwing away old possessions associated with the time, cleansing) and i packed up and moved 1000 miles away from the tragedy. I did this with little money and no one to lean on. I'm not saying this is a solution for everyone. I didn't run, it actually forced me to face a lot of the emotional baggage I had to deal with, without a shoulder or anyone but me. All I could do was keep going and keep living. Since then, I've discovered I'm stronger than I thought, I found a career that I love, the best friends I could ask for, and I've gotten closer with my family. I'm about to move further away again, yet this time its not because of tragedy but new beginnings. Though, you can always see tragedy as a chance for a new beginning.

Answer 3

With a firm certainty that all will work out in the end. I try to remember that I am a beloved child of the Universe and tragedy is not the point of this trip. I am here tolearn something and everything happens for a reason - and the longer I live the more the answers and reasons are revealed to me.

I also have some great tools that I use, like Louise Hay's "You Can Heal Your Life", Ralph Blum's "Runes" and Angel cards on line:

Answer 4

Simply, one moment at a time. There are so many things in this world that are out of our control, and perhaps this is one of those times.

Tragedy's comes more than once to us, but when it happens to you you can be left so empty, so motionless and very lost in the present, much less to think about tomorrow. It is important to know that you do have the power to come through whatever it is that is effecting you right now. But it is also important to know that there are no ready made answers either.

Without knowing what has happened or to whom it is hard to direct any comments directly towards what it is and whom is involved and maybe that is just what you wanted...it makes it not so personal.

Take a hold of yourself, and hold yourself and know that you will get through whatever it is. Even if you don't want too, it will happen.

One moment at a time, one step at a time and don't be too hard on yourself or others. Just handle your feelings with strength and dignity and love yourself and others as much as possible.

Harmony, love and peace be unto you and all.

Answer 5

I've not experienced the most tragic moment in my life yet. If it turns out to be anything which has happened up to this point in my life, I wouldn't classify any one thing to be "the most tragic".

LOL Guess that means I'm doing pretty good huh??? LOL

Answer 6

Hi,
Well I cried a lot, prayed a lot and did a lot of writing in my journal.
This was when 5 family members died and I lost my job within 4 months time. I had a lot of help and support through family and friends. If something tragic is happening to you or someone you know just sit back, take a deep breath, let it out slowly, and pray.

Answer 7

My most tragic moment was when I lost my older brother, who happened to be my best friend, to cancer nine years ago. It took tiime to get over it- and I don't think I'll ever be truly over it. I went to his gravesite the other day and I played his fave song on one of my CDs and blared up the volume then rolled the windows down in my truck so he could "hear" his song. As I left the cemetary I took like three steps away from his grave and it began to rain. I have to believe it was a sign that he knew I was there and he "heard" his song.

Answer 8

With great difficulty. Time, lots of time.

Tragedy usually means a loss of something - after a while of remembering the 'good things' you need to try to forget, but this seems impossible. Because it is a loss, it has left an emptiness. This needs to be filled - find something that almost matches (in emotional content) the thing that is lost - so you can pour your energy and emotions into that. It might be to learn a new sport or skill to replace the loss, something you have wanted to do for a long time but not done.

Some-one said to me; if you can't truly for-get then get-for. meaning get something to replace, to stand in place of what is lost. You may not forget, but the emptiness is filled and you have something to hold onto in memory.

Answer 9

With lots of support from family and friends!! and lots of time crying and freaking out!! If you feel you need to cry or scream do it, let it out it does help, and so wat if u do it more than once a day!! but keeping ur friends close and having them to talk to really helps alot, I know!! I was the friend everyone always came too and then all the sudden it was reversed I really needed them and they were there for me it took me almost a year to start really feeling better, its still in the back of mind and creeps out from time to time but I can call my bf and have a lil cry and talk and its like 500lbs has been lifted!! Stay strong it does get better!! If u need someone to talk to hit me up on my email, I know I'm a stranger but I would help if I was able too, I know how it feels, I wish you the best !!

Answer 10

I did not. You never overcome your most tragic moment, you only can deal with it, and hope the pain dulls over time.

Answer 11

Dear Kandaphati,
It was one of the most tragic times of my life and I stayed around family and those who loved me and could give me moral support. Life gives us many trials but with family, friends and our higher power we are able to carry on. There is a saying that is so true " When God shuts a door he opens another" Life will turn around. hang in there and best wishes
