Grief and loss are inevitable parts of the human experience, and while we all encounter them at some point in our lives, our individual journeys through grief can each look different. However, one common aspect of grief is its stickiness. One instance of grief often brings front and center other unresolved emotions and past losses to the surface.
"When our hearts are breaking and breaking open, the metaphysical world, our team, swoops in to make sure we know we are not alone." -Patty Lenon
In this heartfelt episode, Patty shares her recent encounter with grief, loss, and joy, and how these experiences, though heartbreaking, can also be profoundly beautiful and infused with magic.
Here are three powerful truths about grief that can provide solace and support during challenging times:
- Joyful beginnings can coexist with grief and loss.
- What we acknowledge, embrace, and express grows in our lives.
- The more we seek magic, the closer it comes to us.
If you're going through an ending, and it's taking a lot from you, know that you're also feeling all the other endings that are not yet fully processed. And if you're going through a joyful beginning, and it's accompanied by feelings of grief and loss, remember that it can be because it's still attached to other endings.
If you need help processing your own experiences of grief, or if you want to better recognize and remember the magic happening in your life, you can use The Space for Magic Journal as your guide.
