My best friend died suddenly, she was only 47, I do my best to ‘live’ in her honour, she loves that! This is a fabulous post or whatever its called, really fabulous, thanks Donna x
Thanks Sara. As George himself sang about his soul mate who died...'and the words you could not say, i'll sing them for you...' Keep singing for your friend and in that way she gets to live on through your song xxx
“We all carry grief but not everyone grieves, and this is how so many people get stuck inside their grief. It becomes a place that they reside in.” Such powerful words, thank you. It is a place I resided in for such a long time until I grieved. And I’m sure I will reside in again. And now I see people I love carrying their grief and throwing their stones at those around them. Scaring away those who love them. I pray they find the path of grieving to lighten their burden so they can live again.
I read your post days ago and keep coming back to it - your words rang so true, I know people who have been carrying their heavy load for decades and you can see how it deadens them and impacts the people around them. The more years that pass the harder it is to think there is another way. I also think that it's not just limited to loss but also to any trauma experienced. When people can't move on doing the 'work' of moving through it then it is just so, so destructive. My mother died in her late 70s having never grieved for her parents - she was a WWII refugee and orphaned and alone by the age of 12. The saddest thing is the life that she was never able to live because she was so full of anger, resentment and jealousy.

That's a beauitful prayer to hold Gemma xx
‘Nature and grief, grief and nature. Like long lost lovers who find their way back to each other through the portal of loss. ‘
Love this route to healing.
Thank you also for the distinction between grief and grieving.
And for the hope that one heart at a time this important work will impact us, others and…… the world!
Thanks Kirsten. xxx
