Grief

Experiencing grief is an intensely painful journey, not limited to the loss of a loved one. It can arise from broken relationships, missed opportunities, and even debilitating illnesses. During times of sickness and pain, when our lives crumble, we may feel vulnerable, powerless, and desperate for answers and solutions. In search of relief, we turn to doctors, healers, and therapists, hoping they hold the key to alleviating our suffering. This search for respite can feel as if our life depended on it.

Family members may dismiss our pain as attention-seeking or manipulation, failing to acknowledge our physical or emotional struggles. Law of attraction teachers might attribute our sickness to self-created manifestations, suggesting that our pain is a result of our karma.

Others may attribute our suffering to emotional repression. They view our illness as a necessary part of our healing resulting from unprocessed trauma. Our condition gets oversimplified, believing that once we confront buried emotions or unresolved issues, our symptoms will miraculously disappear. While uncovering repressed emotions and finding meaning in suffering can be crucial, it's essential to recognize that everyone's journey is unique. Nobody truly knows your deepest truth. Nobody possesses all the answers. Offering perspective, acknowledging we cannot definitively determine the right path for you, may be the most honest help.

To listen attentively, with empathy, validating your experiences, and making you feel loved, believed, understood, and safe can change a situation. If you doubt your intuition and senses, understand that you are not crazy. It's possible that you have silenced your inner voice and allowed someone else's projections to shape your reality.

Part of you may yearn to believe that someone else holds the ultimate truth, but it's crucial to remain true to yourself. Trust your deepest experiences, even if they bring pain. Listen to your gut throughout, even when you feel tired, overwhelmed by grief, and exhausted. Trust your intuition. Suffering should not be regarded as shameful or indicative of failure. Tragedy, misfortune and pain can affect anyone, no one is exempt. At times, there are no easy answers and nothing makes sense. In these moments we grieve and face an uncertain future. I am here to help in any way I can.
