COMPLETING THE COMPLAINT

When my cat isn't fed on time, he sometimes becomes very angry— even outraged. And even after the situation is remedied, and the food is right there in front ofhim, he will still continue to whine and cry until he complains himself out. We, too, may find ourselves in a complaining mode long after the original injury is over. Complaining about a hurt we have experienced can indeed be a part of the healing process. We may need to sit in the corner for awhile and lick our wounds and mourn over our hurts and losses. While it's OK to complain, it's even better to complete your complaint and get on with your life.
