Why do you think people often struggle with a feeling of helplessness after the loss of a relationship?

It may sound cliché, but you have to learn to change the things you can change and learn to accept the things that you cannot. Of course, this can be easier said than done. With regards to the things that we cannot change, that is where we have to simply trust in the Lord. Nothing catches him surprise. He knew the loss was coming before we did and he has a purpose and a plan.

I think often times it is loss of control – the fact that we can’t “do” anything about the loss. Most of us desire to be in control of our lives and anything that affects that autonomy can cause feelings of anxiety or helplessness.

In my opinion the struggle with “a feeling of helplessness after the loss of a relationship” derives from the feeling of not being in control. The ability to rejoin the relationship is not solely in one person’s hands. Even if the relationship is rekindled, it may never be the same as before.

One would assume the feeling of “helplessness” after “the loss of a relationship” could result from feeling abandoned and lacking control over the situation.

I think that people struggle with helplessness, because they sense that they cannot bring the loss back. Regarding to loos through a death, there is nothing one can do to bring the missing person back. The missing person offered a relationship that probable brought support, companionship, and possibly the leadership for dealing with the loss. There are so many things that arise in life, that require more than one person’s involvement. We cannot do everything by ourselves, and it takes time to realize that when a problem arises, and it will take time to find an appropriate individual that is able and willing to give assistance.
