The silver-lining inside our grief
All grief comes with suffering, but it comes with transformation too.
by: E.B. Johnson
Grief, comes in many different forms and strikes for many different reasons. Whether we’re mourning the loss of a parent, a partner, a friend or a dream — loss is a terribly serious state of being that can only be overcome by being addressed with compassion and understanding. Though your grief might have you convinced that life can’t go on, it can, and it will with time and a little gentle healing.
When you get proactive about being happy, you can find a silver-lining in your loss, but it’s a journey. By digging into the meat of your grief, and coming face to face with it, you can work through it and learn how to embrace the new and beautiful life that is waiting for you. Write a new narrative for yourself and learn to see the beauty behind the pain. Over time, you’ll uncover a new and beautiful tomorrow that you didn’t even know was waiting for you.
What is grief?
Grief is a normal and natural reaction to loss or change of any kind. It is not pathological and it is not a personality defect. It does not occur only when we lose a spouse, a child or a parent and it most definitely does not make us weak or less worthy for experiencing it.
