Progressive thinking will help keep you from dwelling on the past or regretting something you had no control over. When you have progressive thinking, you have progressive healing . . .

Death is an example of when progressive healing is needed.

Divorce is another one.

Failure is another one.

What is NOT progressive and healing thinking, is when a person *dwells* on how much they will miss their loved one. They will, of course, miss them, but there is compensation knowing that they have gone on to a better life. Shouldn't the living, also, after a decent interval, go on with their lives? Do you see the correlation there? It feels good to keep your deceased loved one in your heart, but only in a positive way.

What is NOT progressive and healing thinking, is when a person *dwells* on how much they will miss what they have lost. They will, of course, have lost something, but there is no recourse except to move on.

What is NOT progressive and healing thinking, is when a person *dwells* on their failure. There is no recourse except to move on.

Now, let's see. We can build our lives around what we feel we are missing, and years go by before we realize that we had put our life on hold for someone or something that is never coming back. Or we can have progressive thinking and healing and go forward.

Why not do what you can to realize that now? Why not make a point to feel your loss for a designated period of time, THEN make a point to get on with your life. How about every time you start to miss what you had, take a moment out and think of the good memories, then retarget your thoughts to what you are going to do with your life now? If you find yourself crying a lot, try to stop that immediately by looking ahead to a future you are designing -- the very second you feel a sniffle coming.

Learn to take control, so that you can teach others how to get on with their lives. It is important to have progressive healing after a loss. Progressive healing happens with progressive thinking.

As always, show by doing. Your family will love you for it.
