“Rediscovering your hidden Dreams” after Loss!

Introduction

This article will explain how to rediscover your life dream/dreams held before the pain and trauma of loss.

I am referring to loss as of death of your spouse and other secondary losses.

This article aims to explore how you can unearth buried dreams and hopes, you might have forgotten due to your personal life challenges.

Grief and hurts have a way of drowning the vitality your dreams gave to your life.

In this content piece the aim is to prompt and remind you to think of what your life dreams and hopes had before your husband passed. Being able to do this, helps you regain the joy and fulfilment of a life you previously had. This will enable you to pay attention to this positive aspect of your life, enabling your grief to gradually shrink into the background of your life.  

The Grief and trauma felt as a widow, has a way of dimming the smallest or greatest of dreams you ever held as a child.

When your grief becomes encompassing you can forget the dreams and aspirations you had.

Working with a Coach to explore this mystery will help you recollect hidden memories. Or sometimes some event or deeper inclination will bring these back to the forefront of your mind. This enables you to find a purpose for joy and hope after your loss.

I’m here to encourage you that when you are feeling stronger, and more person centred those dulled dreams will resurface.

A Divine/special dream you have could be so impactful, for many generations after you.

That’s why getting started can initially be quite vague and tedious.

Have you ever felt that you might even be aware of the dreams you have for your life, but you sometimes conceal them, not sharing with people closest to you, as you fear they are too huge to be fulfilled by yourself.

Factors that hinder your ‘Divine/Specific Dream:

1. Fear of Failure: The fear of failing can be a significant barrier for you. The thought of failing to achieve that dream can be overwhelming and it might discourage you from even trying.
2. Lack of Self-Confidence: You may doubt your abilities and believe you are not capable of achieving this dream. This lack of self-confidence can hold you back from taking the necessary steps to pursue your aspirations.
3. Financial Constraints: Pursuing certain dreams may require a significant financial investment. If you lack the financial means or stability, you might find it challenging to take the risk and invest in your dream.
4. Lack of Support: Having a strong support system, such as family, friends, or mentors, can play a crucial role in pursuing your dreams. Without encouragement and understanding, you may feel isolated and less motivated to follow through.
5. Family or Social Expectations: Sometimes, family, or societal expectations can clash with your individual dreams. Pressure to follow a more traditional or practical path can lead you to abandon your dream in favour of meeting external expectations.

• Health Issues: Physical or mental health problems can impede your ability to pursue certain dreams, especially if the dream requires physical stamina or emotional well-being.

• Time Constraints: Some dreams may demand a significant amount of time and dedication. If you already have substantial responsibilities, such as a demanding job or family obligations, you may find it challenging to allocate enough time to their dream.
• Lack of Knowledge or Skills: If you feel you lack the necessary knowledge or skills to pursue your dream, you might hesitate to start or might believe you are not qualified to succeed.
• Unrealistic Goals: Setting unrealistic or overly ambitious goals can be discouraging. If your dream seems unattainable, you may abandon it due to the perceived impossibility of achieving it.
• External Circumstances: Sometimes, life circumstances beyond one’s control, personal loss, such as economic downturns, political instability, or natural disasters, can interfere with pursuing certain dreams.
• Changing Priorities: As you grow and evolve, your priorities and interests may shift. A dream that once seemed important might lose its appeal over time.

Factors that will fuel and keep your dream and life purpose alive.

1.Cultivating Self-Belief: Trusting in yourself and your abilities is the first step in birthing your divine dream. Embrace the belief that you are worthy of your dream and capable of achieving it. This inner conviction will fuel your determination, making the journey smoother.

2. Taking Inspired Action: Dreams remain dormant without action. Take intentional steps towards your divine dream, no matter how small they may seem. Every action, no matter how modest, contributes to its realization.

3. Staying Open to Opportunities: Remain open to unexpected opportunities and synchronicities that may arise along the way. Sometimes, the universe conspires to support those who are committed to their dreams.

4. Practicing Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself during the journey. Celebrate your progress, and don’t be too hard on yourself when facing challenges. Self-compassion will help you maintain a positive mindset.

5. Trusting Divine Timing: Divine dreams often unfold in their own time. Trust the timing of your journey and have patience, for the universe may be aligning everything perfectly for your ultimate success.
