Whether you’re grieving the loss of your job or spouse or a way of life, some moments are horrific and some are OK. It’s a wave that sometimes comes crashing in and at others is ripples of discontent. How can we move through the challenging times when a change comes uninvited to our lives?
Sometimes the only thing to do is sit and be with the miserable feeling. Mostly we are in the habit of doing anything so to avoid the hard feelings of loss. But, deep down we know the pain is looming in some corner of our mind and our heart. It’s there within our body and we just can’t avoid it.
When we experience a major loss, our heart feels sick, badly hurt, even broken. How can we heal our broken heart? Is there an answer, or are there only questions that create a safety for the heart to say what it feels? Telling the truth about what you are feeling is an integral action in the healing process.
Who in your life can you safely say what you are feeling? Who will listen, without advising, judging, or changing the conversation? What do they receive in return for their love listening?

Being alert to the new space that was created by the loss seems essential to moving forward. Seeing this "white space" as a blank canvas, a new beginning can serve as an opportunity for creating a new life. Walking into the mystery of what is to come can be an adventure as well as a journey of faith. Seeing the space as a gift rather than a loss can help with the process of being in the moment instead of fearing what the future might hold. We only have now...honor this gift.
