THE STUNNING NATURE OF GRIEF
gently gently…move slowly and softly…
the grief itself is a heavy enough burden…
nobody told us…
and we couldn’t have heard anyway….
it’s more than we imagined, loss and grief…
we must approach our souls with tenderness, timelessness, and delicacy…..
grief must be invited to tea, live in our house, sleep in our bed…
and healing dialogues begun…
before thriving once again…

It has been 6 years since my husband decided to leave this world abruptly. … his willingness to quit being part of this reality and our life has had deep and profound effect in our life, my daughter’s and mine…..I was very angry for a long 5 out of these 6 years, trying to erase much of his memory, the sickness and the exit…. I did not allow any grieving time, just did what I needed to do to find balance again….trials and errors…and again….exhausting…almost loosing my own kid…and constantly in motion….from here to Europe and back…
Then a year ago, out of nowhere anger evaporated.
What a relief!!!.. Don’t ask me how or why…it just did and I am grateful….. There is great heaviness
when anger is consuming the soul…no progress…
This last 6 year cycle has been great Schooling…I have not graduated yet….and it might be need for post graduate classes…. all I know is, I know nothing..
A new ,not chapter, but a new book is starting… I know I am protected always have been, and I know Spirit will guide me to my next step.
Felt good to share with you, Jan…
.Thank you…
Anna, I’m so glad you shared this with me. I had no idea of your loss…and especially one of this magnitude. What a relief that the anger lifted in it’s own time. Awakening brings us challenges we think just might kill us, I know it has for me…and clearly for you…and your daughter. I understand the ‘new book’ analogy, after all you are a new person, never the same, not even close. This has been a raw and agonizing journey from what you write and I can only imagine the inner change it has wrought with that cosmic 2 x 4. I am holding what you shared tenderly and hope that your healing continues and that you enjoy the movement that allows for you. Bowing to the Soul Plan you and your husband had..and enacted. Big one! Blessings to you and your daughter.
Much love and a warm hug,
Jan
