Navigating through grief is no small task.
Just when you think you’ve found some relief, another wave of intense sorrow can crash over you.
Take heart, my friend.
This too shall pass… but perhaps not today.
We live in a fast-paced society that conditions us to seek instant gratification, making it easy to wish away our burdens, trying to get the monkey off our back.
Yet, when grappling with grief, it’s vital to honor that human part of yourself that often feels disconnected from Love.
Transforming your resistance to grief into acceptance requires immense patience and compassion.
You may not fully realize just how much grief is woven into the fabric of your being, stored in the very DNA of your cells.
It takes time to unravel this latent energy that has become constricted and blocked.
As you begin to allow grief to flow and to accept what you are feeling, you will slowly start to expand and open all the parts of yourself that have felt tight and restricted.
Consider this: a sunflower seed and the seed of a yew tree may be nearly the same size…
But while the sunflower seed germinates in just 7 to 10 days and lives for a mere 70 to 100 days, the yew tree requires 2 months to 2 years to germinate and can live for up to 900 years!
This serves as a reminder that the magnitude of the change dictates the patience required.
If you have experienced the loss of a child or someone close to you, you are navigating a profoundly traumatic event.
And that doesn’t even begin to account for any trauma that may have occurred during their lifetime.
This is significant work.
I invite you to…
Be strong.
Be courageous.
Be compassionate.
Be patient.
One day—not today, but one day—you will look back on your journey and be in awe of the beautiful life you’ve created.
