Grief

We had a tragic death in our community yesterday, and I've been pouring through my numerous books on grief for anything that might help. I've come up short mostly. Be there. Listen. Grieve.

We're never quite the same after experiencing a deep loss. But I hope what we are is better than we were before. More compassionate. More loving. More depth to our character. I found this quote that speaks to that.

"Sadness is related to the opening of your heart. If you allow yourself to feel sad, especially if you can cry, you will find that your heart opens more and you can feel more love."

S. Gawain
