Experiencing Greif

At MOP's today, a sweet mom shared her story of experiencing grief. She shared such a personal and heartbreaking story with us and I am so grateful for that. Her message was something I needed to hear today. She also shared a write up about grief that I would like to share with others.

"I had my own notion of grief. I thought it was the sad time that followed the death of someone you love. And you had to push through it to get to the other side. But I'm learning there is no other side. There is no pushing through. But rather, there is absorption. Adjustment. Acceptance. And grief is not something you complete, but rather, you endure. Grief is not a task to finish, and move on. But an element of yourself- an alteration of your being. A new way of seeing. A new definition of self."

If you have never experienced grief or the loss of a loved one this is for you. Sometimes you do not know what it feels like to go through the loss of someone close like a grandparent, parent, friend, child, unborn child, spouse, sibling. I love this and I hope this can help someone out there!
