Welcome,
GRIEF: A powerful word and feeling!
Most of us have experienced the sadness of trauma and grief. Unfortunately it is part of the ‘human condition’ – and yet it can be a time of huge growth in consciousness.
It can be the loss of expectation of how we think our life should be, the loss of choice and the loss of freedom – or the loss of someone close.
Children’s first experience of grief can be through the loss of a much loved pet, or their favourite toy, doll, teddy bear or security blanket. They need validation and comfort during this time just as we all do during a time of grief.
How do we process our grief?
Processing through the stages of grief vary and are unique for every individual. They are all valid.
There can be collective community grief caused when a group of the community die – such as in a car, plane or bus accident – or through devastation caused through fire, flood or cyclones/hurricanes. The coming together and support of the people can be very valuable as they all mourn together. (I consider we are all grieving the loss of how life used to be before the arrival of Covid-19!)
Shock, anger, denial and then acceptance are all stages in the loss. Arriving at the acceptance stage allows the healing to begin, although the ‘scars’ usually remain at some level.
Many of my clients have experienced grief and loss of a loved one and through a session with me they can connect with, and gain messages of understanding, reassurance and comfort from them in the ‘spirit’ realm. It is part of the acceptance stage of knowing their ‘lost’ loved one is only a ‘thought’ away.
I encourage the client to then reach out (as time goes on) and find their own way to communicate with the departed loved one. Many have done this with great results!
Consciousness is expanded to an understanding that we are eternal and it is only the physical body that has gone. Have you come to this realisation?
Many in spirit are eager for us to connect with them and so begin a two way dialogue, bringing a wonderful richness and comfort to our life. As I have said before – “we are not alone”.
Intention and trust will bring success!
Stay strong and loving always.
Much love,
Merriene
