Grieving
I went to the workshop, “Healing on Purpose†and their perspective was that narrow spots (hard times) happen to us and our family, in our personal lives, in our health, living conditions, finances… These narrow spots require attention and often grieving.
They stated that grieving is a process of discovery. A time for us to stop and reflect on the following questions:
- What is lost?
- What is left?
- What is possible?
I like that grouping of questions. I definitely think it is where your heart needs to go in order to continue, to go on. It does not require you to “move on” [impossible], just to reflect on what is now and what continues to be possible. It’s a great series of questions for dealing with other life challenges like parenting our kids with medical challenges, or a child with a disability. Sounds like it was a great conference.
