The grief that deepens us

It is interesting how we all have the capacity to feel grief but grief can sometimes feel like such an isolating experience because we are too often afraid to be vulnerable and honest with ourselves and others about the depth of our emotional state. So, we often experience grieve and don’t really let ourselves mourn. 

Mourn not just the loss of a loved one but the old versions of us who died in our process of becoming, our journey of transformation. The old versions who are longing to be acknowledged, witnessed and sometimes even celebrated for having carried us through life until now.  

In this episode I explore grief and how grief had the ability to change us, shake us, bring us to our knees, move us, uproot us, and in the end, deepen us and break our hearts open to more love if we allow it to. I provide a potential pathway to embody grief in a way that heals us and gives us permission to let go of the past through Ancestral rituals examples from the Akan culture.
