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.

(If you like a little ambiance:
Oil I was called to: Valor Oil - Young Living 
Incense: Nag Champa
Music I was listening to as I wrote this blog: https://youtu.be/JuIUJNnf9GU?si=l5ATLbr6MfJjpUvG ). 

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...

 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. 

Story Time...I cried today.
