@re-joyce 19 December 2024 more from that month

People can only meet us at the depths they’ve met themselves. That’s why, when we grieve, it can all feel so very lonely. Who could ever meet us (or want to) at these sacred depths?⁣⁣ We spend the majority of our lives seeking the experience of love, joy, peace, happiness, fulfillment— So what do we do with the massive void we’re left with when we lose someone we love? ⁣⁣ Here’s a lesson Grief taught me: The deepest depths of our heart are carved from the greatest losses we survive. ⁣⁣ At the center of Grief, is a spot where your truth echoes; the shocking, and often unexpected, exposure to just how much pain we can feel after loss is ALSO a shocking revelation of just how much love we can carry.⁣⁣ Your pain is true. And so is your love. And your persevering love will require you to give yourself the compassionate space and pace to grieve. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Because you cannot outrun your pain. Nor can it be buried or hidden—it will only fester & cause bigger problems. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ You will have to feel it all to heal it all. I’m holding space on December 28, 2024 (the 8th anniversary of my mother’s passing) for my most sacred workshop. “From Grief to Grace” is more than an educational workshop on coping with Grief, It’s a transformational experience for transmuting pain into purpose.
