It hurts but its okay to be sad

Loss is loss

And it hurts

Even after some years

Do we really need to tell people

They need to remember the good times

Or look for the silver lining

Can we not just listen with our heart

And try, just for a moment, to put ourselves

In their shoes

And as for remembering to celebrate their life

Well of course

But there is a tearing that happens in grief

And the stronger the attachment

The deeper the tear

We must never forget

That grief is a sign of love

And there is nothing at all pathological

In still feeling sad or holding on

To the sweet or painful memories

For surely every individual grief

Has its own path

And whose place is it to question or advise

Exactly how that path will unfold

Please let us listen with our hearts

And lend a helping hand

And let us remember

That grief expressed is healthy

And is a sign of love

As well as an expression of

Deep longing or yearning

For what was

So very precious to us

Or longed for by us

Why Grief Is A Series of Contractions and Expansions

"The religious naturalist is provisioned with tales of natural emergence that are, to my mind, far more magical than traditional miracles. Emergence is inherent in everything that is alive, allowing our yearning for supernatural miracles to be subsumed by our joy in the countless miracles that surround us." Ursula Goodenough How to describe oneself? People are a mystery and there is so much more to us than just our particular experiences or occupations. I could write down a list of attributes and they still might not paint a complete picture pf Deborah Louise and in any case it would not be the full truth of me. I would say that my purpose here on Wordpress is to express some of my random experiences, thoughts and feelings, to share about my particular journey and explore some subjects dear to my heart, such as emotional recovery, healing and astrology while posting up some of the prose/poems which are an outgrowth of my labours with life, love and relationships. If anything I write touches you I would be so pleased to hear for the purpose of reaching out and expressung ourselves is hopefully to connect with each other and find where our souls meet.

    1. Thanks so much. I wrote in response to comments some people were making on another blog but having has significant losses I know all the dumb things people say when you have lost someone. I think we need far more education around grief and the grief process. I really appreciate your kind feedback. ❤

    2. I also wanted to say I dont agree with all in that article. God loves us unconditionally and the so called ‘evil’ arent refused love or so called ‘resurrection.’ Anita Morrrjani died and went to heaven and came bacj again she wrote about her exoeriences. God embraces everyone. Wounded people wound orhers. ❤ Her book is Dying To Be Me.
