About this event
"Today I didn’t want to get out of bed. I thought about trying but changed my mind. When I got up, my feet dragged as I walked. I felt irritated at things and people. And before I could make a cup of coffee tears were rolling down my cheeks. I paused and stood there for a moment with my palms open wondering what was going on. An overwhelming heaviness weighed on me. I sat down and sunk deeper, feeling a pressure on my body and an awareness of chaotic thoughts swirling above me. Soon, the rolling tears were accompanied by whole body heaves and a mix between hyperventilating noises and repetitive short exhales hurling up from my gut. This is active grief. It’s normal. It’s natural. It’s necessary. It’s beautiful. It’s uncomfortable and all consuming. We often do everything we can to avoid grief as it shows up for us and for those around us. Today, rather than wiping my tears and pushing grief away to carry on with the day to day, I’m embracing myself, welcoming mourning, and honoring that which has been lost. I’m hopeful this expression will help you embrace life, love, loss, and being human with courage, depth, gratitude, and wholeness."
