TALK TALK TALK about it

Beloved, there is no getting around it these days. Either you or someone you know is grieving a loss of some kind. If you are the one grieving the best thing you can do for yourself is talk about it. Do not suppress because you don’t want to make others uncomfortable. If you know someone who is grieving the best thing you can do for them is listen, listen, listen.

I know I sound like a broken record but in these times when millions have lost their lives there are millions more that need someone to understand the spot they are in. In my opinion, so much death and loss and grief makes a people lose their way. Minds in grief often are not able to think clearly, it is actually called grief brain. We react to things in a way that we probably wouldn’t if we were not grieving. Just like a pressure cooker that must have steam released before you can open it, people in grief must have a safe place to vent in order to get to a place where grief is manageable.

I have hope that my own grief will continue to become more manageable. I have this lovely little blog to thank for a lot of my progress as well as the writings that no one will ever see. Everyone, EVERYONE deals in their own way. We who are around them are either helps or hinderances based on how we react to their grief. If we allow them to vent and blow steam we can be a help. When we project a feeling of being uncomfortable we can be a hinderance.

Beloved, please be encouraged to be a help. Be encouraged to talk, talk, talk. Be encouraged to listen, listen, listen. Be encouraged to just be present in the moment. Be encouraged.

I have been told that I am a really good listener whenever, if ever you want to talk.

Beloved, have a lovely…
