Can you imagine standing on the side of a river trying to hold on to a huge log that is meant to head downstream??? You’d likely become exhausted. Your arms might become weary. Perhaps your fingers may even bleed from holding on.

When we are exhausted, we’re likely just REACTING to our lives, in survival-mode day-to-day. This can feel like flying at the edge of our seats, moment-to-moment. When we have taken time to recharge emotionally, mentally, & spiritually, we’re more likely to RESPOND to life in a way which is aligned with who we are at our core (with light).

You can’t heal what you don’t reveal (to yourself). Some of your deepest emotional wounds may by oozing into other areas of your life, mind, heart, and spirit. By denying the magnitude of your painful life experiences you may have (metaphorically speaking) spent years of your life applying a bandaid 🩹 to a surgical wound. Could you imagine the literal consequence of this??

Experiencing Anger is a normal part of the journey when practicing to heal from loss. Your anger may feel endless & scary. However, it might be bring clarity to consider ways Anger helps to create structure to the emptiness created by grief. Think about the fog mentioned in previous post on “Shock/Denial,” and ways Anger might create something to hang onto, in the midst of fog 🌫… if you’re angry at someone.. the world… your higher power… After all, at least this structure of anger is something, rather than nothingness, right??
