Grief is a natural immediate response to loss or tragedy. But grief is really more about us than about the loss we grieve. When someone or something dear or important to us is suddenly gone from us, we feel the emptiness of a space no longer filled in our life. The natural remedy for grief is allowing our own wisdom to show us new paths for ourselves, and allowing our minds to come to peace so that we can enjoy our memories without suffering. Suffering arises from thinking we “should” be sad for a certain length of time, or that we “ought to” show respect by staying in grief.
I loved this episode! In 2012, I lost my son to suicide and in 2020 I began coaching and facilitating a grief support group in my town.
In July of this year, I came across the 3 Principles and have been coaching and facilitating from this understanding and it has been such a shift for me and my clients.
And for me, this episode summed up exactly how I’ve experienced grief and becoming more grounded in the 3 Principles has shown me why my experience was the way it was.
Thank you ladies, for this podcast and this episode in particular.
