Grief feels like a current that is always pushing you under.
That you can’t escape from, no matter how hard you try.
It won’t let up.
It’s fierce.
It’s strong.
It’s relentless.
Some days I feel the current dragging me down so mercilessly. I have no choice but to let it drown me.
I let it submerge and consume me so that I can feel what it asks me too.
And in doing so I set myself free.
Not free from the pain, but free from the suffering.
Pain and suffering are two different things.
Pain is unavoidable in life, grief causes deep pain.
But suffering? That is a choice.
We cause ourselves more suffering by staying down, by the story we attach to what’s happened.
By how we choose to react to what’s happened.
It’s in your reaction that your power lies, you have a choice.
You don’t have to stay down, you can choose to get back up.
To fight.
The current of grief is brutal, there’s no way around that and honestly? There shouldn’t be.
There’s no quick fix, avoidance of pain, or instant solution.
And I don’t think there should be, to know love, is to also know loss.
You don’t get one without the other, it’s the way of life.
So when the waves of grief come to drag you down, let them.
Let them take you under, go down with them to the darkness of the ocean and ask them
What are you trying to teach me?
And then let yourself learn.
Let yourself understand.
Let yourself be carved.
By the depth of your grief, and loss.
Let it shape you, let it refine you.
Then let yourself rise, again and again.
Each time stronger, fiercer and more valiant than before.
This is what it means to experience grief and loss, it is to let go of control and let grief take its course.
No emotion, no state and no darkness can last forever.
When you’re deep in the darkness my friend, look for the light.
With so much love & compassion❤️🩹
Always.
