Contribute to others
There will be events in your life where you feel so sad, hurt or angry that it is not possible for you to reframe your perception positively. If a sudden death occurs in your family, for example, you are unlikely to perceive it as a beneļ¬cial event or a learning experience.
You can, however, choose how you will personally deal with the event. Rather than giving into feelings of sorrow for the rest of your life, you can use the situation to help other people so that they will never have to experience the same
devastating events.
Writing a book, starting a prevention campaign, giving to a charity or sharing your stories with a support group, are all ways to deal with a loss constructively. As someone who has personally experienced the event, you are in a prime position to contribute your knowledge and increase awareness amongst your peers or on a larger scale.
