The Day I Grieved My Relationship in Savasana

Grief, a key component of death.

It is through grief; we can sit with death’s outcomes. Endure the pain left and, if we’re willing, strategize a proper process to embrace what remains and move forward with new life. Because of grief’s heavy tone, no one delves into its layers. The burden is much to bear; however, grief is the bridge between heartache and healing. The final phase of release.

We need grief to feel our pain.

Our society encourages us to compartmentalize our pain and makes us believe we are weak for allowing it to course through our veins. It’s the biggest misconception of our human experience. Pain is part of our duality and to push through it we need to feel it and grief helps us do that.

Though customary to hold to the memory of what we’ve lost, the biggest detriment comes from the delusion in the nostalgia. We end up impaired by these thoughts because being empty appears daunting. It took time, but I realized it is best to acknowledge these memories and by doing so, it didn’t make me weak. In fact, it became a space of gratitude for what the Divine gave me and allowed me to see the blessing in the lesson.

Being cold because of the loss wasn‘t necessary. I could stay warm and full of light because I endured something that helped me grow.
