The Gift of Quiet: Using Silence to Heal Emotional Wounds

Silence is the absence of sound or noise. It is a state of quietness or stillness where there is little or no audible or noticeable sound. Silence can be external, such as the absence of sound in a room or environment. It can also be internal, such as the absence of mental or emotional noise within a person’s mind.

Silence can also have different meanings and interpretations in different contexts. For some, it represents peace, tranquility, or meditation. For others, it can represent fear, discomfort, or awkwardness. Silence can be intentional, such as in a moment of reverence or respect. It can also be unintentional, such as when someone is at a loss for words or does not know what to say.

In my case, my silence has been internal and me trying to hear myself think after dealing with such drastic changes. The thing about change is that you can’t stop it you just have to change with it.

Since July of last year, I feel like I have been in complete silence, well not completely of course but with limited human interaction. Last July my dad passed away and I haven’t had many words to say the next month afterward in August I left the job I had at that time and eventually found another job in cybersecurity and it’s been exciting.

I needed to reflect on the drastic changes that took place and try to cope with them. I did some therapy sessions. Not many, but they helped me along the way. However, I am the type of person that has to sit through major changes and think about them before speaking about them to someone.

I can say that I can talk about my dad without feeling any heavy emotions. I think about him every day but the pain is fading away and I feel mentally and emotionally stable again.

I realized that through silence things must end and coming to grips with that has been a huge battle within myself. I have a different outlook going forward, and I’m getting stronger every day and I’m excited about the future.
