There are days when grief rises like a tide—gentle at first, then crashing through everything, wave after wave. I had one of those days recently. The kind where you cry all day, and it’s not just about one thing… it’s about everything.

Grief, old emotions, ancestral ache, the deep soul-exhaustion of being human.

And somewhere in the middle of all that—I found myself in conversation with Spirit.

It went like this:

My Conversation with Spirit About Crying

Spirit: “I’m sorry, but sometimes you have to.”

Me, feeling a little sassy: “Why do we have to? Why don’t you?”  (I already knew the answer to this before the question even left my mouth.) 

Spirit: “We don’t carry the emotions that you do. But we see what they do to the human body. And we have tools to help move them out.”

Me: (Frustrated) “How do you have the tools and we don’t, if you don’t even have the emotions we do?”

Spirit:
“Because we’ve gathered them across all our lifetimes.
We work as a One. We pool the wisdo...

In the depths of grief, the pain we feel is not just emotional; it permeates our very being, echoing in our hearts, bones, and blood.

It's a tangible ache that seems to have no end.

But amidst the darkness, there is a tool that can help alleviate some of the weight we carry: energy work.

Having experienced profound losses myself, I understand the heaviness that grief brings.

When my stepfather, who was every bit a father to me, passed away, and then later when my Dad departed, I was thrust into a world of deep sorrow.

It was during this journey that I discovered the profound impact of energetic cords on an even deeper level.

Energetic cords are the ties that bind us to the people, experiences, memories, and places in our lives.

They are the unseen threads that connect us to those we love, even after they have transitioned from this earthly plane.

It was through this understanding that I began to comprehend the physical pain in my heart after my father's passing.

Having recently danced several of my own dances with grief, I want to keep finding ways to support my community through their own dance with grief.

Today I feel called to share a few thoughts about grief. 

The thing about grief is that it never really goes away...

Life is forever changed. In the moment of loss, we are catapulted into an entirely new world, new frequency, and what feels like a new dimension. 

We somehow have to find a way to understand and learn this new life. This new version of self. 

The other thing about grief is that no one really knows the true severity and intensity of your pain... 

They can imagine, they can empathize, and they can commiserate.

But just like you won't fully know the pain they might endure from their own loss, they won't ever know your ful...

 What can I say about grief? 

There are no words that can adequately quantify what grief really is. And there is no one  that can fully explain it to us, as we all have our own experiences with grief. 

The grief I want to talk about today is the grief we must endure when a loved one passes away. 

I’ve been watching grief flood in all around us these past few years, including into my own heart.

I hold space as I watch it fill the crevices and dark empty places of our hearts, our minds, our energy fields, and then it takes over all the light places too.  

Grief is so heavy and wraps so tightly around our hearts, our lungs, our stomachs, our throats, our shoulders, and our souls. 

 And the hardest part about grief is you can’t do much to cure it other than sit with it, and slowly learn to navigate what life is without our loved one.
