After the loss of love, either from a breakup or from a loved one's death, it's normal to grieve and even go through a depression. But after a while, you're supposed to "get your groove back," so to speak. But sometimes you can't move on, and thoughts of the loss seem to take over your life.
What's the problem? Are you afraid to let go? Clinging to the past? A glutton for punishment? Or is it possible you've lost a piece of your soul?
In native cultures all over the world, it's believed that you can truly "lose your soul" or have a piece of it break off due to a trauma or heartbreak. According to shamanism, this is often done voluntarily - you give a piece of yourself in the form of your "energy body" to someone you love out of a desire to protect them or stay with them, even if they leave you or depart this world. Shamans believe that oftentimes unless a healer does a "soul retrieval" ceremony to get the missing parts of you back, you'll forever feel like something is "off" or missing, and won't quite feel in your power in the same way again. They claim this can cause a litany of emotional and physical problems, commonly including depression and fatigue.
