In Grief we revolve and we evolve. Think of a river that is flowing. This is your life. Sometimes the river flows freely, moving ever towards the sea. Sometimes a tree falls in the river and little eddys that slow the flow. You see leaves circling around in the water, not moving forward. Sometimes we can remove the obstacles alone. Sometimes we need help. 

Always there will be these ebbs and flows in Grief. 

Even years later a gut punch comes out of the blue. You weren't expecting it to but there you are, tears welling, your heart feeling heavy, or shattered again. 

That is okay. 

This is the way of it. 

There is no right way or wrong way to grieve.  

Some options we choose might not help in the long run. But we are always able to make a different choice, even if just for a few moments. 

Our hearts have been broken open. 

Give yourself the gift of Grace and be gentle with your tender heart.
