“There is a grief that occurs in your healing. They don’t talk about that so much. It’s a messy, complicated, beautiful and raw place, To have so much unconditional love for the person you once were, a person who wanted to be anybody but themselves.”— excerpt from a little personal reading I give during the episode (let me know if you like when I do these!)
Grief has a very heavy and often negative connotation, and understandably so. In the thick of it, it weighs on you like sandbags tied to your ankles. But it's when we try to ignore our grief, when we trudge forward without pausing to really embrace it and feel it, that our journey is slowed and we drag our feet— and our past.
But if there’s anything that my self-healing process has shown me, time and again, its that grief is good. It has so much to reveal to you. Sit with it, and you’ll see that it isn’t sand bags on your ankles, but a shoreline showing you the horizon, calling you to be fully present to the beauty that is caught in the inbetween, of the day that is setting, and the next that will come to rise.
This episode is for those who need to hear it most, and to know you aren’t alone. Grief— whether for your past self, for your past relationship, for your old dreams— can feel really isolating. but when we open our hearts to it and don’t close it off to others, it can be a place of profound connection, compassion, and more love than you knew you were capable of.
