"I Grieve"

~This topic is really close to my heart as I have experienced loss in many ways!  I recently read a quote that said:

"For any culture which is primarily concerned with meaning, the study of death – the only certainty that life holds for us – must be central, for an understanding of death is the key to liberation in life.”~Stanislav Grof

To understand the certainty of death is truly the key to liberation as it allows us to be more compassionate and open our hearts more! Grief, the true universal emotion that touches everyone's lives and connects us all in unseen ways. 

Experiencing loss is intertwined with all our daily interactions. Some experiences are subtle and some are grand. Loss is not limited to physical death. There are many deaths that we deal with: loss of a relationship, job, business, pets, and loss of self due to trauma or abuse. The loss of hope and loss of love are the biggest grievances that we can all relate too....loss of trust the biggest betrayal  and it seems to be something that is common now a days! 

Going back to the original quote, understanding that we ourselves will experience death with certainty let's us know that the ebbs and flows of life are cycles that continue to give birth and then die in order to expand. Nature teaches us that to evolve we need to adapt and that leads us to personal liberation to choose what meaning we give our journey. A personal gift that we all share by a golden thread with others. 

From my heart to yours!!  I Grieve....<3
