July 14th "good grief Charlie Brown"

What is grief?

~ Deep sadness, imagined wrong, reason for being annoyed or angry. An injustice. Loss, sorrow, trouble, anquish, heartache, distress. (Thorndike Branhart circa 1950's) ~

We get hurt, disappointed and annoyed. What is more important do you think- the cause or the solution?

We tend to focus on the cause more than the solution and when we have been hurt, or we are disappointed or if we get annoyed, focusing on the cause leads to grief. Focusing on the cause of our hurt, disappointment or annoyance leads to deep sadness, imagined wrong, feeling of loss, sorrow, feeling troubled, anguish, heartache and distress. No? When we focus on the cause our re-action becomes more intense.

Today let's identify what's grieving us and take action. Grieving is a process. When my daughter passed on and went to be with the ancestor's I felt intense grief immediately. I knew I wasn't alone and sought out some folks who went through the same experience. It was a process.

Keep this thought in mind; " time does heal all wounds to a small extent, it is Love that heals all wounds starting right now." Seek out someone to love you when you're grieving - it's the best medicine.
