How somebody can move ahead in life if she is suffering from the grief of untimely demise of the pillar of her life.Ms. Rashmi Sandeep has moved on or rather moved forward! She is an HR professional with 16 years of experience in the IT industry. Along with this, she is also an inspirational speaker and healer. Through this article, Rashmi shares her personal experience of loss of her “Pillar of Strength: Her Father” and how she has dealt with the grief by embracing it and moving with it. This article opens her heart and feelings. She wanted to share the learning through this article with the world that has helped her to move further in life-
When a relationship is over it leaves us with a feeling of numbness and void. The emotional vacuum that sets in is something that cannot be explained nor expressed in words. It’s an intense silence.
What do we do when the silence sets in?
We have to pick ourselves up and move forward. A baby step is all it needs to start all over again. Begin the new chapter with Self Care and Self-love.
Self-Care is the act of taking care of your physical and mental balance. It’s the time invested to find your peace through hobbies and small interests.
Self-love, on the other hand, is about cultivating the habit of acceptance of self emotionally and physically.
Below is the simple Self-care and Self-love routine that will help cope up with the void and eventually help us make friends with grief.
Get Up and Move: No matter how much you are in an emotional pain get up and move. You will feel tired, heavy and totally uninterested but this is the breakthrough point when the pattern has to be changed. Exactly at this point is when you have to push yourself to move the body and let the sleeping hormones get active and bring in the fresh gush of energy into your blood. Make room for healthy habits. Start it slow and start it small as you are not in a hurry.
Pull your confidence back: Traumatic emotional experience will break your confidence. It will leave you cocooned and shattered, but this is also the same experience which makes you even stronger and smarter. “What doesn’t break you makes your stronger” is a famous quote and this is True. If you survived and lived the moment of pain then you can also stand up and take your power back from the pain and move forward.
Narrate a different story: Every moment of pain or joy in our lives is defined by a story we tell ourselves about an experience. Emotional pain after losing a family member can be easily narrated as “ He/ she lived their lives in high spirit & celebration and it’s now time to salute their experience and fare them well so that fresh experience can be created.” This is my version of narrating a positive experience to existing pain.
Own your Emotions up: It’s totally fine to acknowledge the highs and lows of pain. It is totally fine to grieve over a situation. However, don’t let sadness and pain be part of you for long. Anything that clinches you over a month or 2 thereafter becomes a habit. Don’t fall prey to these habits. Use the mixed-up emotional churns to create new experiences. If need be to step out make new friends, find a friend who can lift you up, explore the unexplored side of yours, start compassion services. Convert your painful emotions into blessings for others. Help poor people, feed the hungry, spend time with people who have none to talk to. Remember that when you share kindness is when you heal. Emotional Healing is a conscious effort. Emotional healing has to happen every day, every hour. If not we can never move forward.
Practice Silence: Every day for 30mins, keep your phone away. Stay off the television, switch off the music system, Go on social media detox. During this 30mins sit quietly and focus all your senses towards recalling happy moments of life. Recall the last time you were truly happy and bask in that feeling of happiness. Be there in the moment and enjoy the silence and the peace that engulf you. Breath slowly and observe the pattern of breathing while enjoying the peace.
To conclude Let’s move forward with our life not by faking our emotions or ignoring our pain. Let’s just embrace the grief and carry on with our day to day life and live One day at a time!
Womenlines team has no words to express for Ms Rashmi’s loss, as such losses create a big vacuum in life. May God give her strength and courage to move forward in life!

Sharing a powerful video by Susan Kolpack, a Global Goodwill Ambassador from the USA who is currently helping to build a school for disadvantaged children in Africa as well as breast cancer advocate & kidney research advocate through Canada’s Brush of Hope Celebrity eBay Auction and now part of Canada’s FAAVM and its Sing For Peace Project!!
In the words of Susan Kolpack-
“I am just an everyday woman like anyone else but I want to leave the world a better place for my 3 beautiful children and 4 grandchildren. I have always had a heart for the downtrodden my entire life. I was bullied all through elementary school and a Nun at the school took me under her wing. I found solace in books and music. Any historical books I could read I did. My mom never went past the 6th grade but she could tell you anything you needed to know about Jewish history, European, Eurasian and she was a wiz at long hand math. She loved long division. She left school to help her Mom out at home by doing laundry and ironing for neighbours.
Most of my Moms family perished in the Holocaust over 100 members. Only a handful escaped just before WWI by converting to Catholicism a and came here and settled on the Locks in Medina NY. Her grandfather went back at the beginning of WWII to try & bring back family but was never heard from again. I eventually found him on a Dachau death list my bubbe my Mother’s mother lived with us. She never spoke English. Only Polish, Russian and Yiddish so we have to speak it in the house. Hence why I found it easy learning new languages I promised my mom I would search for her family. I have yet to find anyone that survived.
I feel like I hear their voices crying out to say help stop what’s going on in the world but with love & kindness that is what people are in need of because in the end when you are facing your twilight years or whether it comes suddenly that’s all that matters. Not titles or possessions but what you did, how you treated people. I stopped my search for a while as it became emotionally overwhelming but then two years ago after having the worst headache of my life I was diagnosed with a Right Carotid PiCA Cerebral Aneurysm ( a very rare type < .02% are this type ) it’s currently not treatable. I sat in total fear for 6 weeks not getting dressed not leaving the house. But then I said I can’t keep doing this, living like I am already dead. Now does this mean I do not have fear anymore? Of course not. I realize that the next bad headache could be my last or that my life would drastically change as I know it. 60% never make it to the hospital and those that do 40% will have a major disability but with mine 75% never make it through surgery. So it’s an ongoing process, a conscious choice, to let fear rule and what if or try to be the best I can be every day.
Slowly I pulled myself up and started doing my humanitarian work (currently helping to build a school for disadvantaged children in Africa ) as well as breast cancer advocate & kidney Research advocate through Canada’s Brush of Hope Celebrity eBay Auction and now part of Canada’s FAAVM and its Sing For Peace Project (I studied music my entire life ) my mother made sure her 5 girls had the education she never had.”

Yafot wellness in Singapore is offering Homeopathic consultancy under Dr Charuta Deshpande, who is having an incredible experience and knowledge, which she wants to use by helping out people suffering from various illnesses especially in a holistic way. As an Influencer at Womenlines panel, Dr Charuta is sharing an insightful article on the role of Homeopathy in treating menstrual headaches-
Homoeopathy provides hope and wellness! -Dr. Charuta Deshpande
“Mrs R is a 35year old mother of one, 5year old; saw me 9months back for migraine headaches. She always cherished being a mother but sometimes wonders if she is doing enough. Her husband travels a lot and she often feels like a single parent. When she gets around 3-4days before or during the first 2days of her monthly cycles, she suffers from unbearable headaches, so much so that she does not want to get out of the bed. These headaches might last for a few days to more than a week. She finds herself to be extremely irritable towards the kid and often yells at him for no reasons. She becomes sensitive to least disturbances; noise, light, air, least disturbance making her daily life miserable. Inability to look after the house and especially unable to care for her child makes her feel useless. The only way to deal with it is to lie down in dark, quiet room until the effect of 2-3 painkillers sets in that gives her relief for a few hours before the attacks start all over again. This often puts her on a guilt trip of not being a nice mother”.
She has tried quite a few things to relieve her headaches but nothing seems to work more than temporary relief. Every next cycle the headaches are equally severe and debilitating. She started on Homeopathy in May 2019; within 3months of the time, she saw more than 70% relief in the intensity of her headaches soon followed by complete relief in another 3months. She was advised to discontinue the treatment in Nov 2019. She remains well and happy, completely headache free till today. To her, this was being able to live life without any anticipations!

Millions of women globally suffer from migraine every year. 60% amongst them are menstrual headaches or migraine that have a hormonal connection between the headaches and the menstrual cycles. These headaches usually start around her 20’s through the early ’50s which represent her peak career earning-power and child-rearing years. In reality, menstrual migraines are more than just a headache; it can be extremely disabling and cause major disruption in your ability to function during an attack. But many times, since you look quite normal with no obvious external sign or no objective measure of the pain, you might end up having to hear harsh comments like; ‘you are making it up’, ‘It’s just a headache, get over it.’
If you have tried to help yourself with variety of aids like pain relievers, hormonal treatments, dietary supplements, complementary treatments and so on but have failed to seek a long-lasting improvement, and on the verge of giving up or have decided to live with it; here’s the silver lining in that cloud of gloominess – Homeopathy! Completely natural, no side effects and non-habit-forming mode of treatment. Homoeopathic recovery usually starts with decreased frequency and intensity of headaches to almost no headaches in a span of 6-9months. Moreover, sustained wellbeing is the key even after you are off the remedies.
Helping to lessen the burden of headache, amongst the many other burdens that a woman carries has been my passion for writing this article. You deserve to fly high and enjoy life, we are meant to live.
